Dear Bill,
We found these Two Trapania laying their eggs in Rodrigues Island (near Mauritius Island).The specimens were found by Emmanuel Eby in September 2004
Are they what you call Trapania sp 1?

Dear Philibert,
Yes these are Trapania sp. 1. It is a strange looking egg ribbon. Did Emmanuel actually see the animals laying the egg ribbon or did he find them both crawling on it?
Best wishes,
Bill Rudman
