Elysia viridis?

Dear Bill,

Attached are 2 more photos from Malta.
I took them at Iz-Zurrieg, divesite "Blue Grotto", at 18 m depth, size 12 mm, March 21, 2001. The sea slug was ~3 cm beside the eggmass (diameter 10mm) but not seen "in action". Is it an eggmass of Elysia?

Dear Erwin,
It certainly looks like a sacoglossan egg mass but we will need some local knowledge to identify it
Best wishes,
Bill Rudman.
