Extra-capsular yolk of Chromodoris coi?

From: M. Tay & J. Shahrizal

Hope this is an example of extra-capsular yoke of the eggs of Chromodoris coi. The orange "spots" are quite prominent in this example.

Dear Michelle & Jeff,
Yes this certainly looks like extra-capsular yolk. It is certainly nice to get another record to add to Kheong Sann Chan's earlier message [#7229]. We certainly have a lot to learn about the function of extra-capsular yoke.
Best wishes,
Bill Rudman
