Dear Bill,

Thanks for your reply.  I am after that information so I can do some lab work on C. kuiteri without it starving to death!

I am about to begin an honours project at the University of Queensland on Chromodorid reproduction.  I am mainly looking at sperm morphology and spawn characteristics, but am hoping to record spawning behaviour as well. 

My background is from temperate waters; I did my undergrad at University of Melbourne, so my local knowledge is zero!! Please help!!  If anyone has local species lists and/or any reproductive info (photos of spawning and egg masses) please don't be shy!!

Thanks for the information Nerida. I've put a copy on the Participant's Page. I suggest you get in touch with Wayne Ellis (glaskin@ozemail.com.au ), whose contact detail are on the Participant's Page. As I have said many times before if anyone has interesting photos of eggs, spawning, feeding etc, it would help us all if I could borrow and scan them so we could all have a look. ... Bill Rudman.
