I have just noticed that Tom Thompson (1977) when discussing the limited distribution of Hypselodoris zebra says "it can be forecast that H.zebra will prove to have direct, non-pelagic development".
Austin's observations suggest that although its development is not direct, it is not very pelagic either, with non-feeding larvae quickly settling from the plankton.
