Awesome shots YE. I think I actually saw that one armed helmut crab but didn't notice the eggs. You found nudis on favorable backgrounds. Me not so much.

Here are a few clips from the video:

Great nudi shot! My shot of the crab babies isnt so hot. In fact, the only shot worth even looking at was this one of the flounder eye. Look at all the parasites on his eye. There were many more around the eye too..

That's a great shot of the crab eggs hatching. Sorry I didn't make it out on Thursday!

Love the closeups of the crab hatchlings Scubie! Parasites in the eye, glad we have arms, hands and fingers.

I agree, superb closeups by all.
BTW, I think the nudi with eggs is actually Brown Horned Dorid ( Acanthodoris brunnea).

The eggs of Barnacle-eating nudi are white ribbons...
