Dear Bill,

Attached is a picture of a Chromodoris kuiteri laying its spawn. It was taken at Heron Island [Great Barrier Reef, Queensland] on 28th March 2003 at a depth of 14m. The animal was 45mm in size.

Best wishes,

Thanks Julie,
It's nice to have a photos of another of these species which lay a flat egg coil. I have also included the blue sponge in the closeup as I wouldn't mind keeping an eye out for C. kuiteri eating this sponge.
Best wishes,
Bill Rudman
