Dear Baki and Bill,
Thanks for the picture of the egg mass, which certainly also looks very similar to that of E. tomentosa from Western Australia.
It is also nice to know that this species prefers C. racemosa, the "invader" over C. prolifera, the "native" species of Caulerpa. Now we just need to test the feeding preference on C. taxifolia, but I suppose you would have to transport the slugs to Italy or France to do the lab-experiments. Transporting the alga would be illegal - and ecologically dangerous.
Greetings,
Kathe
