Dec 5, 2005 · The egg masses of the Californian Bulla gouldiana are described as looking like this and Kilburn & Rippey (1982)describe the spawn of Bulla ampulla as: "The spawn is a long, bright yellow to orange, tangled string of jelly, containing a continuous string of tiny oval capsules.

Nov 12, 1999 · The radula of B. ampulla and B. vernicosa have been illustrated by Habe (1950) and aspects of the anatomy of B. angasi (as B. subtropicalis) were described by Rudman (1971b). All tropical western Pacific species have very similarly shaped shells, are herbivorous and nocturnal, burrowing in soft sediment or hiding under coral slabs during the day.

Dec 5, 2005 · Bulla, Haminoea and Smaragdinella form a well-defined monophyletic group (Bulloidea) according to my 1996 phylogenetic analysis (Malacologia, 37(2): 375-442). I am further puzzled by this posting because the Rudman paper cited (1971, J. Nat. Hist. 5: 647-675) clearly discusses three gizzard plates in Quibulla quoyi ...

Dec 5, 2005 · Juvenile Bulla from Sulawesi June 7, 2001 From: Lindsay Warren Dear Bill I wonder whether you could point me in the right direction for the ID of this Bulla found by Guillermo Moreno in July 1999 at a depth of 18 m on filamentous algae growing on the mooring line of a rompong (fish-attracting device) in deep water in the Tukang …

The animal is similar in shape to that of Bulla ampulla with the posterior edge of the head shield deeply cleft to form a pair of large flaps which partially cover the leading edge of the shell. The anterior corners of the head shield are developed into prominent enrolled tentacles which channel water down each side of the head over the ...

Oct 8, 2002 · attached are 2 shots of an unknown egg-mass from my recent trip to Kas, Turkey. I'd like to say they are from a seahare, but they look similar to the eggs-masses of Bulla ampulla from the Philippines. I found dozens of these egg-masses, but no seahare nor something else larger enough. data: size approx. 12 cm depth 10-15 m,

Jan 27, 2001 · On sheltered muddy or sandy bottoms it feeds on bubble shells such as Haminoea virescens and Bulla gouldiana. I don't have photos of either species on the Forum but have a look at the photos of Bulla ampulla and Haminoea ovalis, which are both similar in shape, although Haminoea ovalis is much more brightly coloured than H. virescens.
