Sea Hare, Bursatella leachii

"Absolutely amazing to watch this. This one started in a ball and straightened out. Then the ""sand like ball"" appeared behind the other opening and the front opening closed. This is one of a group of about 243 - that is all I could count. After a while with the ""sand balls"" popping out and holding their shape, fish came in (couldn't get a photo of them as they blended into the water and cause too much distortion) and ate what I am guessing is roe."

"Absolutely amazing to watch this. In this series I have put up closeups. I think the little white circles in the 3rd photo may be eggs or sperm?
