Not only they are themselves beautiful creatures but they also make this work art when they lay their eggs :-)
Beautiful! It looks like a white rose.
Thanks--neither had I! Total luck that I saw it and went to look (thinking, "what in the world is a rose doing down there?").
Good one. Never seen those before.
Oh, thank you! A Google search turned up several similar images labeled "nudibranch eggs." What wonderful, fascinating things.
They are eggs of some nudibranch or sea hare, most likely.
