Berthellina citrina egg mass? from Lord Howe Island
January 14, 2003
From: Ian Hutton
Thanks for the great site Bill. I browse every few weeks and was pleased to see your recent inclusion of some of my images from Lord Howe Island. I was going to post a few of the pics with eggs that may interest your viewers, but you have done so. I include here a pic of Berthellina citrina with eggs. I am not sure if this one was with the images I sent you. It is from Neds Beach.

Hutton, I., 2003 (Jan 14) Berthellina citrina egg mass? from Lord Howe Island. [Message in] Sea Slug Forum. Australian Museum, Sydney. Available from http://www.seaslugforum.net/find/8820Dear Ian,
Thanks again for permission to use your photos. There are quite a few more which I will gradually add as time permits. Yes I did have this photo, but I was going to check with you whether you actually saw this egg ribbon being laid. In the lower photo, the end of the egg ribbon seems to still be attached to the rightside of the slug. Close proximity does not necessarily mean 'parenthood'. I am not sure I have ever seen the egg ribbon of Berthellina so if anyone who has can confirm its identity I would be grateful.
Best wishes,
Bill Rudman
