Dear Salva and list-ers:

In terms of sexual reproduction, both Chloeia viridis and Pareurythoe 
chilensis are probably planktotrophic, based on observations.  However, 
many species of Pareurythoe also reproduce asexually.  I presently have 
thriving cultures of at least 2 different Pareurythoe species (Fiji, Thailand) 
that reproduce this way.  And it is present on most all of the Pareurythoe 
species I have examined.  Hope this helps.
