Hi,
Is it possible that this Nembrotha megalocera was laying her eggs ? I didn't notice it when I took the picture.

Thanks for your comments.

Dear Joe,
It certainly looks like it is egg-laying. Unfortunately we would need a photo from the right side, where the reproductive openings are to be 100% sure
Best wishes,
