Cratena peregrina and Flabellina affinis feeding When I found these pretty nudibraches I thought that they were a couple moving together. However, when I took a closer look at the photo on my computer I realised they are two different species. The one in the forefront with the white transluscent body is Cratena peregrina while the one with the violet body is Flabelina affinis. Please look at the small pink particles near the Flabelina. As George has confirmed these are eggs, possibly laid by the same animal I captured in the photo. The two sea slugs are feeding on the same hybroid, which is considered rather unusual.
