Concerning message #5322:

Thought it may be of value to the forum to have another Diaulula sandiegensis feeding and egg laying photo. In this case there are two animals feeding on the glove sponge Neoesperiopsis digitata.

Locality: Browning Wall, 45', British Columbia, Canada, Pacific Ocean, 06 August 2007 , Wall . Length: +/- 7 cm . Photographer: Jackie Hildering.

Best wishes,
Jackie

Hi Jackie,
Seems funny that a species named after San Diego, California is getting so much Canadian attention. Yes, you are correct and this is its eggs.

Thanks,

Dave,
At least San Diego and British Columbia are on the same coastline. We have a common intertidal snail here in eastern Australia called Hinea brasiliana (Lamarck ,1822) because it was mistakenly thought to come from Brasil.

Cheers,
Bill
