Concerning message #20378:

My belief that the egg mass in the earlier message belonged to Peltodoris nobilis is based on having seen what is captured in these photos. Always risky I strongly realize, but I believe we have Peltodoris nobilis laying an egg mass of the same morphology?

Locality: Five Fathom Rock, Port Hardy, 40', British Columbia, Canada, Pacific Ocean, 19 November 2005, Rocky bottom. Length: + 18 cm . Photographer: Glen Miller.

Thanks Jackie and Glen,

I like to have some visual evidence on the Forum, and this photo certainly supports your suggested identification. Since this identity question arose I note that we have a message from Jim Lyle [#18682] which has a photo confirming your identification. All in all a good result - if perhaps a little out of order.

Best wishes,
Bill Rudman
