ChrigelKarrer 52 Posted September 26, 2012 (edited) I shot some pictures of those Flabellina Affinis here in Sardinia: The first question is if it is a Flabellina Affinis or Flabellina Pedata The second question is are the pink balls inside eggs and the pink string in picture 2 also egg filaments? Picture 1 Nikon D800 / Nikon 105mm Micro VR / 2 INON Z-240 strobes Picture 2 Nikon D7000 / Tokina 100mm Macro / 2 INON Z-240 strobes Thanks!

scubamarli 5 Posted September 27, 2012 It's Flabellina affinis. The second photo shows egg masses. Cheers, Marli Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ChrigelKarrer 52 Posted September 27, 2012 Scubamarli, thanks for your quick answer! but i think that i may formulated my question unclear: On picture one, the Flabellina is filled with pink "balls", are they eggs or just some kind of interiors. I attach another picture and a crop of it Thanks so much! Chris Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
liquidguru 17 Posted September 27, 2012 I think they could be the ovotestis follicles. See this post http://wetpixel.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=46612 as there is some explanation there, as I has seen something similar. Kaj Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
