Dear Bill,
Concerning your query [message #13669 ]:
According to Benoit De Baize, dive master in Rodrigues Island, several specimens of this species were laying their eggs like that in Sepember in Rodrigues Island . And according to Emmanuel Eby, the photographer, it's evident that they are laying eggs and not crawling....

Dear Philibert,
Thanks for the clarification. I like to check up on interesting observations. Tha almost lace-like shape of the egg ribbon is most unusual.
Best wishes,
Bill Rudman
