They are gliding over erect bryozoan colonies and a Mogula ascidian on the lower edge and in the middle of the image.  They were feeding and laying egg veils on the side of the pontoon attached to the fish quay in St. Peter Port harbour, Guernsey on the 8th June 2007.

sealord > On the 8 June 2007 I found three species of nudibranch including this species, Facelina annulicornis, gliding over the turf on the side of the pontoons attached to the fish quay in St. Peter Port harbour, Guernsey, Channel Islands.  There were several different egg veils or egg deposits on various substrates but I couldn't tell which sea slug the various egg deposits belonged to.  There is a Jassa amphipod to the left of the sea slug and a small caprellid amphipod just above the mouth of the slug.
