sealord > This image shows a deposit of eggs of the nudibranch Aeolidia papillosa.  

Two adult Aeolidia papillosa nudibranchs were seen in the proximity of two deposits of Aeolidia papillosa eggs on the upper shore near the Guernsey end of the Lihou Island causeway on 9 May 2009.  Aeolidia papillosa is the largest nudibranch that regularly visits the Guernsey inter-tidal area.  It feeds on anemones, particularly beadlet anemones and snakelock anemones, which are both common on the Guernsey shore.

sealord > These two adult Aeolidia papillosa nudibranchs were on the upper shore in a shallow pool near the Guernsey origin of the Lihou Island causeway on the afternoon of 9 May 2009.  Near-by were two deposits of spawn.  The spawn is photographed in the adjacent images.  These nudibranchs feed on sea anemones - particularly beadlet and snakelocks anemones.  There cerata on the dorsal surface retain the nematocysts or stinging cells of the anemones they consume.

sealord > I think this flatworm is Cycloporus papillosus. Two individuals were lying on a large colony of the compound ascidian Botryllus schlosseri, on the base of a rock, just south of the Lihou Island causeway.  This flatworm was photographed having glided off the ascidian colony on the 9 May 2009.  The Botryllus schlosseri colony had been excavated and several deposits of very small eggs were deposited in the depression.  I do not know if the flatworms produced the eggs or some other species such as a mollusc.
