Nudi Eat Nudi Eggs world This was an interesting encounter with this regular sized Nudibranch - Glossodoris cincta, which is around 4 cm.<br />
The first interesting part - it was still in the process of laying her eggs, which is the white strand of ribbon on her back (to the right of the picture).<br />
<br />
Second interesting part - I then noticed something moving on the eggs, which I realised was the nudi eggs eating Nudibranch - Favorinus tsuruganus.  This smaller Nudibranch is less than 1 cm in length, it is yellow orangish thing on the side of the bigger Nudibranch, just next to the body, but on top of the whitish eggs.  There were 3 of them but the other 2 has crawled to hide in the other side of the eggs ribbon. Anilao,Batangas,Geotagged,Glossodoris cincta,Nudibranch,Philippines,Spring Click/tap to enlarge
