More photos of Favorinus japonicus

Dear Bill,

Here are some other photos of Favorinus japonicus that I found on the egg band of Dendrodoris denisoni. I actually observed these eggs being laid by D. denisoni & in my prior message (#13700) the eggs are also from D. denisoni.

There is also a small whitish coil-like egg band in this image that looks like the eggs of F. japonicus. I moved the slug just a short distance to take the upper whole body image.

Locality: Hwa Soon, South Korea. Pacific. Depth: 4 m. Length: several mm. 28 Nov. 2004. Sandy bottom with Rock Wall. Photographer: Dong Bum Koh

Best regards,

Dear Koh,
Thanks very much for these photos and for the ones showing Dendrodoris denisoni laying its egg ribbon which I have posted separately [message #13680]. In the close-up alongside we can see on the left, the typical rhinophores of F. japonicus, and on the right, the narrow spiralling egg ribbon on a Favorinus.
Best wishes,
Bill Rudman
