Hypselodoris maculosa laying eggs
November 30, 2001
From: Julie Marshall
Dear Bill,
Last year Scott Johnson sent photos to the Forum showing various colour forms of Hypselodoris maculosa and a photo of one animal laying a pale pink coloured spawn mass. At the time you asked if anyone had other photos of this species laying eggs. This animal from Heron Island [Great Barrier Reef] laid a white egg ribbon in the laboratory. This animal was 25 mm in size.
Best wishes,
Julie Marshall

I guess it's going to take us a while to accumulate enough information to see whether there is any significance in white and orange egg masses. Certainly worth checking out in future. I really need to check back through my field notes for any observations on egg ribbons.
Best wishes,
Bill Rudman
