Favorinus tsuruganus from Indonesia

From: Ginette Allard

Here is one from Siladen, Indonesia in August 2000 , at low tide. This aeolid has put its eggs [lower left] on a Spanish Dancer's eggs. The aeolid was approx 1cm long. There were 2 at the same place.

Dear Ginette,
This is Favorinus tsuruganus, which from the various messages on the Forum, seems to prefer the eggs of Hexabranchus. I have included your later photo alongside as it shows the characteristic rhinophores of this species.
Best wishes,
Bill Rudman
