Thuridilla vatae and egg ribbon

Hi Bill,
Here is Thuridilla vatae with an egg mass. This was a common species in the early 1980s at Enewetak Atoll, where this photo was taken. I have seen only a couple of specimens at Kwajalein over the past 14 years, and Kwaj is only about 550 km southwest of Enewetak.

Thanks Scott,
Is it very common to find a sacoglossan with an orange coloured egg mass? Most I can recall are white or in a few instances, yellow.
Best wishes,
Bill Rudman
