Dear Fish-folks,
 
A colleague of mine asked me to post the following message.  Please respond
to Ronn Altig, [log in to unmask]  Thanks.  Chris Taylor
 
"There is a female fish that has a long ovipositional tube that she uses to
lay her eggs in a clam (via the siphon).
1.  What is the family/genus/species?  2.  Structurally or developmentally,
what is that tube?  Does it serve only the genital opening or does she also
defecate through it?
Thanks!!  Ronn Altig."
