Ianniello, L., 2005 (Dec 1) Ceratosoma tenue with eggs from Buton Island. [Message in] Sea Slug Forum. Australian Museum, Sydney. Available from http://www.seaslugforum.net/find/15375Dear Linda,
Although the animal is in an awkward position there is a small secondary lobe on each side of the mantle edge between the gills and the rhinophores which suggests that this is C. tenue rather than C. trilobatum. We have very little information on egg ribbons in species of Ceratosoma so every photo is valuable. Interestingly we recently had a message from Mary Jane Adams [#15013] with a photo. The egg mass is identical in colour bit decidedly 'frilly' along the edge
Best wishes,
Bill Rudman
