Distribution

This species was described from Panglao, Bohol Island, Philippines. It is also known from Bali, Indonesia.[1]

Description

The body of this dendronotid nudibranch is variable in colour from cream through brown to red, with a fine reticulation of red pigment on the sides, back and on the rhinophore sheaths. The cerata are irregular in shape with pseudobranchs on the inner faces. The maximum length of this species is 20 mm.[1]

Ecology

Kabeiro rubroreticulata is found on colonies of Campanulariid hydroids which grow on sea grass in 1–5 m depth.

gollark: It doesn't matter. What I'm trying to get at here is that I don't see why you privilege the actual point at which an egg becomes fertilized that much, if your argument is just about potential to become another thing, since almost identical potential exists immediately before that.
gollark: Again, why? Before an egg is fertilized, there must necessarily exist some point at which it wasn't yet but that was likely to happen soon.
gollark: Does that matter? They're still ultimately quite likely to produce a zygote and then quite likely to produce a fetus and whatever else after that.
gollark: Yes.
gollark: Probably wouldn't work very well otherwise.
