Dear Bill,
I know that you like to get photos of nudis doing things, hope this photo of Chromodoris geometrica is a good inclusion to your data.
Locality: The Passage Raja Ampat, 8 meters, Indonesia, SW Pacific Ocean, 24 March 2007, Sandy bottom, coral covered rocks along the passage. Length: 40 - 50 mm. Photographer: Kerem Turker.
Best Regards,
Kerem

Dear Kerem,
Although we have photos of this species laying eggs it is always good to get another one because this species is characterised by having extra-capsular yolk [see Scott Johnson's mesage #5694]. It's function is unknown - I don't even know if it is 'yolk', but by having records of quite a few animals with this same type of egg ribbon certainly shows that it is not a strange one-off anomaly.
Best wishes,
Bill Rudman
