Concerning message #15935:
Hi Bernard,
Hi Bill,
When looking my pictures, I'm not sure that what I saw were eggs masses...
Unfortunately, I can't go to dive before next week (wednesday or tuesday...). Here's a picture, not very good, sorry...
About the algae I saw Hermaea variopicta on, there was two species: one was Halurus equisetifolius: on this species, I saw single animals. I haven't identified the second species yet, but on it, I saw single animals and couples.
On my next dive, I will take some algae to dry it and send Bernard for
identification. Thank you very much for your informations.
Hervé

I would suspect the egg masses of this species would form a spiral. Have a look at the following messages for photos of sacoglossan egg masses: #9719; #9583; #4160; #12277; #7521.
Good luck with your search,
Bill Rudman
