Dear Bill,
Here are some photos of Hypselodoris zebra which I took in Bermuda in July, 1991. I hope they are of some use. Thank you for the Haliotis pics.
Best wishes,

Dear Daniel,
Thanks very much. The egg ribbon, looks like it was laid on an aquarium air stone, which I have found to be quite a favourite place for nudibranchs to lay their eggs. I have added an inset of a magnified section of the ribbon to show the spiral string of eggs within the egg coil. The relatively large eggs are typical of a species with non-feeding lecithotrophic larvae. I have also used the photos of the adults at the top of the page. It's nice to be able to put a picture with such an interesting animal.
Best wishes,
Bill Rudman.
