Dear Bill

Not sure if you have Gymnodoris rubropapulosa  with eggs, so thought I would send it along. Although we had quite a few of these nudibranchs, this is the only one we have seen near an egg mass.

Locality:  Ningaloo Reef, Western Australia, Exmouth Gulf. Depth: 12 m. Length: approx 4.5 cm. 10 January, 2005. silt bottom; man-made structure (Navy Pier). Photographer: Martina Fuchsberger.

Dear Kristin & Martina,

It's certainly nice to get a photo showing the egg ribbon. I certainly have not seen one before

Best wishes,
Bill Rudman
