POTW - Freeloader

Out for a dive at Gun Beach this weekend, I found a few egg masses about the size of a pencil eraser. When I got home to look at the pictures I noticed something orange inside. The upper right hand corner is a close up so you can see what it is.

Didn't know what I was looking at, but it must be the most amazing photo I have ever seen! Good shot Paul!

Ocean or river shot?

Acanthaster Planci....
have not heard that name for years.

Remember the divers cruising around
with those giant syringes poking
them buggers.
Was supposed to be the end of the reefs...

Oh ya,
Back in the day....

My dad thinks may be from one of their animals (nudibranchs).

Hey Paul, here are some great photos of slugs and eggs. This is the Sea Slug Forum, which probably could have been second best choice to name our blog.
