Photos of an egg-eating aeolid

From: Terry Gosliner

Dear Bill,
Here are the photos I promised of the egg-eating aeolid I have found which is the same as Denise's.

The lower right photo of the whole egg mass in from Anilao, Luzon Island, Philippines. The others are from Madang, Papua New Guinea.

The lower left photo shpws an animal crawling on the haminoeid egg mass. The inset shows the magnified egg ribbon of the aeolid. If you compare it with the other species I have sent photos of you will see that this species has a single row of eggs and the other has a double row.
