Hermissenda crassicornis question
June 12, 2001
From: Robert Baker
Hi,
In a tank of nudibranchs and moon jellies there are some white opaque objects that look like the spirals from a spiral notebook that are themselves wound in the form of a spiral about three inches in diameter. What are these? Egg sacks?

Baker, R., 2001 (Jun 12) Hermissenda crassicornis question. [Message in] Sea Slug Forum. Australian Museum, Sydney. Available from http://www.seaslugforum.net/find/4560Dear Robert,
You mention Hermissenda crassicornis in the title of your message so I guess those are the 'nudibranchs' you have in your aquarium. Your 'spirals' certainly sound like the egg ribbon of Hermissenda. Have a look at the photo of its egg ribbon at the top of this page. The Forum is much more than just a question and answer page. Have a look at the other messages attached below yours on this H. crassicornis page for more information. For moving around the Forum click on anything underlined and use the buttons at the top and bottom of every page to go to the Species List, General Topics List, the SEARCH box, etc.
Best wishes,
Bill Rudman
