Dear Mike,

The colour of this species is quite spectacular. It always makes me think of a Roman mosaic.  The smaller one in the lower photo, seems to have found a banquet. The area its crawling over seems to be covered in hydroids, which are the food of species of Bornella. What we don't know is whether they eat all hydroids or specialise on one or a few species.



Best wishes,
