Spawn of Discodoris lilacina from Reunion
August 1, 2008
From: Hugues Flodrops
Dear Bill,
I couldn't find in your forum any picture of the spawn of Discodoris lilacina. I found Discodoris lilacina spawning at night. In the first picture, you can see the egg ribbon structure. I hope it's interesting for the forum.
Locality: Etang Salé "Permanent Pool", 1 metre, Reunion Island, Indian Ocean, 9 march 2008, Night. Length: 40 mm. Photographer: Hugues Flodrops.
Best regards.
Hugues.

Flodrops, H., 2008 (Aug 1) Spawn of Discodoris lilacina from Reunion. [Message in] Sea Slug Forum. Australian Museum, Sydney. Available from http://www.seaslugforum.net/find/21475Dear Hugues,
Thanks for this record. I have observed it spawning many times - but usually in a container after collecting a specimen - so I don't have a good photo. This relatively narrow ribbon with a very frilly edge is very characteristic of the species. Thanks also for the photo of the underside.
Best wishes,
Bill Rudman
