Dear Bill

Many thanks for your reply to my inquiry about the nudis in the egg cases. I will try to get a sample for you within the next few months and will also try to get some shots of the egg cases themselves.

Best Regards,
Denise

Dear Denise,
Many thanks for your very interesting observation, which led to Clay & Patty Jo's messages on Favorinus? sp. 4 and Favorinus? sp. 5, two more aeolids with the same habit. You will also see they consider all the eggs eaten to be those of bubble shells, rather than my suggestion that they are worm eggs.

Best wishes,
Bill Rudman.
