AB - Abstract Morum oniscus, of the neogastropod family Harpidae, inhabits reef flats on the continental margin and larger islands of the Caribbean. Egg masses are deposited on the undersurfaces of coral slabs and stones, in shallow water agitated by wave action. Each egg mass consists of 8 capsules, joined by a basal membrane. There are about 12 eggs per capsule. Embryos pass through the veliger stage within the capsule, emerging as crawling young after about one month. The veliger has a relatively small velum, compared with plank-totrophic species. Details of the developmental stages are described.
