Bhave, V., 2009 (May 11) Egg ribbon of Bornella stellifer from India. [Message in] Sea Slug Forum. Australian Museum, Sydney. Available from http://www.seaslugforum.net/find/22453Dear Vishal,
This is a valuable photo as I don't think the egg ribbon of this species has been reported before. The secondary folding and coiling of the actual eggstring which we can see in the close-up - is quite characteristic of dendronotoideans. -
Best wishes,
Bill Rudman
