From: Michael Miller
Dear Bill
Following on Drew's message from Western Australia, attached is a pic of a Hypselodoris bullocki with the color form said to be characteristic of the original description. The egg mass color correlates with earlier postings of other H. bullocki color variations with the same yellow egg mass, the similarity of which you have already commented on.
Location: Batangas, Philippines
Dive spot: Twin Rocks
Depth: 45 ft.
Photographer: Michael D. Miller
Cheers,

The size of the eggs (see inset) would suggest that this species has planktonic larvae.

Note added March 31, 2001: Yoshi Hirano has just alerted Mike and I that the egg ribbon image was reversed. It is now the right way around. The animal is of course photographed from the left side so the genital opening, from which the egg ribbon is being extruded, is not visible. ...... Bill Rudman.
