Dear Georgina,
Thanks very much for keeping in contact. It certainly looks like you have proved that your earlier photo was indeed of the egg ribbon of this species. This is a valuable bit of information.

You seem to have another couple of nudibranchs in your photo. I think the two orange-red oval shapes on the left of the photo, below the orange-red sponge, are a couple of dorid nudibranchs, which probably feed on the sponge. My guess is that they are a species of Rostanga, but I would need a clearer photo to be sure.

Best wishes,
Bill Rudman
