Note added 4 March 2008: Following Pola et al (2008) the name N. rutilans has been replaced by Nembrotha purpureolineata [see message #21419].
Hi Bill,
Here is another photo from our busy diving over Easter.
We found some Nembrotha mating at Fly Point in 12m. [Port Stephens, New South wales, Australia]. Also, (I think) found
nearby Nembrotha eggs.

Atkinson, D. & L., 1999 (Apr 15) Nembrotha rutilans mating. [Message in] Sea Slug Forum. Australian Museum, Sydney. Available from http://www.seaslugforum.net/find/774Dear David & Leanne,
What a great photo of Nembrotha rutilans mating. When I get round to doing a page on mating can I use your picture please? The eggs are certainly not inconsistent with a species of Nembrotha but the only way to be sure is to catch an animal actually laying an egg mass.
Thanks again,
Bill Rudman.
