Dr. Rudman,
In response to your question about Flabellina iodinea staying in one place [message #14767 ]:
The animals move around a lot, feeding on hydroids, but in this location, there are many, many individuals - I would estimate 20 - 30 per square metre. Yes, those are F. iodinea eggs.
I'm attaching a recent image of a branch I caught in the act of depositing the future generation.
Locality: Wreck of the Avalon, Palos Verdes peninsula, California, USA
Depth: 25 metres, Length: 20 mm. 10 September 2005. ship wreck. Photographer: Jim Lyle
Best,
Jim

I didn't realise they could be so common.
Best wishes,
Bill Rudman
