Larvae Description:
( Do larvae have eyes, mouth, gut, attracted to light, etc?) |
Can't tell much about the larvae, other than that they appear as whitish slug-like slightly elongated blobs with a greenish center, that slowly move along the bottom and sides of the container. They do seem to attach to aiptasia tenticles and if attached drag the aiptasia arm with them (see jounal picture dated 10/8/11, lower left circled area) |
