Dear Bill,
Attached is a pictures of a nudibranch a friend observed during last month in Noumea. First, I thought it's Chromodoris striatella but I'm not sure. Here are pics of mating and laying behavior.

Locality: Noumea, 6 m, New Caledonia, Pacific Ocean, December 2006, Sand, algae. Length: 30 mm. Photographer: Yves Gillet.

With Kind regards
Happy New Year
Jean-François

Dear Jean-François,
Yes this is a colour form of C. striatella. I have observed this species laying a flat egg ribbon in northern New South Wales so it very nice to get a photo to confirm this behaviour.

Best wishes,
Bill Rudman
