Re: Dirona albolineata eggs?

Concerning message #20169:

Two years later, and a lot smarter, I realize that the eggs masses I sent as an August 6th, 2007 post are not those of Dirona albolineata.

Found this mass near the specimen I photographed and they appear similar to those in message #20661 where the contributor was lucky enough to find the animal's laying the mass.

Thought it might be interesting too to see what the specimen appeared to be targeting. Leaf crust bryozoan (Dendrobeania lichenoides) and white tuft bryozoan (Crisia species)?

Locality: Mist Isle, 27 feet , British Columbia, CANADA, Pacific Ocean, 20 June 2009, Wall . Length: 11cm. Photographer: Jackie Hildering.
