Dear Koh,
Thanks for these photos of Goniodoris felis and its egg ribbons. I guess the greyish material in the background of the photo is the remains of a compound ascidian that the Goniodoris has been feeding on. From my experience with other species, they usually lay their eggs on their food. Favorinus tsuruganus seems willing to eat a wide variety of opisthobranch eggs. I have included some close-ups of Favorinus separately [message #13000].
Best wishes,
Bill Rudman
