Dear Bill,
In addition to the pictures I've sent previously, here are some photos of the Favorinus that are not blurred. They are from Reunion Island, Indian Ocean

Once again they were spotted in a Hexabranchus sanguineus egg ribbon.
Best Regards

Dear Yves,
Thanks for the photos. They are of two species. The ones in the upper photo are the same as the 'blurred' ones in your earlier message which I suspected were Favorinus japonicus. They are indeed that species.

The one in the lower photo is Favorinus tsuruganus. For cross reference I have posted your photos of F. tsuruganus in a separate message.
Best wishes
Bill Rudman
