Concerning message #15094:

Anyone have images of eggs of Taylor's sea hare? And can you identify these eggs?

Dear Buz,

Phyllaplysia taylori has a flattened egg ribbon similar to that of Phyllaplysia padinae [message #7420] rather than the tangled mass produced by many  sea hares. In her message [#15094], Nicole mentions that the 'eggs are small flat and yellowish', by which I guess she means the eggs are yellow and encased in a flattened egg ribbon. It would certainly be nice to have a photo on the Forum of its egg ribbon.

Best wishes,
Bill Rudman
