Seaslug - Elysia sp.

While photographing this small, delicate looking egg mass laid by an Elysia species, a tiny Elysia crawled down from the top of the algae stalk and over the egg mass to the sand below. The egg mass was no more than 10mm in diameter and the tiny Elysia was barely noticeable until it began to move.
