    Did you test the theory that it gives a "pleasant citrus smell" when handled :) Posted 3 years ago

      I did not... that I didn't even know until I read the info with the ID. In any case, I don't think I would have wanted to interrupt the egg laying process.. Posted 3 years ago

The Sea Lemon

"Peltodoris nobilis" is a species of colorful sea slug, a dorid nudibranch, a shell-less marine gastropod mollusk in the family Discodorididae. This animal gives off a pleasant citrus smell when it is handled, and this is what is responsible for the common name "sea lemon". Its diet includes Mycale adhaerens, the purple scallop sponge.
