Summary

[edit]
Description

An unsuspecting eye might mistake these two Trapania sp. nudibranchs for a mother and its calf. Think again and look closer. The tiny transparent appendage linking them is the sexual organ of the small one. At this stage, they were done with their "business" and were starting to separate.

To get an idea of the size, the big one must have been around 5-6mm.
