Concerning message #22453:

The alga in the above message on which egg laid is from the Genus Avrainvillea. Is it that strange ?

Thanks Vishal,

Since we know so little about egg-laying in Bornella I wouldn't know if this is strange or not. However, as these animals feed on hydroids I suspect the algae was not chosen on purpose. Any firm, solid structure, such as a bit of dead coral, or a rock, were just as likely to be chosen.

Best wishes,
