Dear Bill,
Here is a photo of Okenia barnardi laying eggs. Usually we can see two animals like in the photo, with one being big and the other small,  during the breeding season. This photo was taken at night diving.

Locality:  Jeju island. Hwa soon beach. South Korea. Depth: 4 m. Length: 10 mm. 16 Nov. 2004. Sandy bottom with Rock Wall. Photographer: Dong Jin Jwa

Best regards,

Dear Koh,
This photo of Okenia barnardi is very welcome. It is particularly interesting to hear of the large and small specimens pairing together in this way.
Best wishes,
