GAS FLAME NUDIBRANCH EggsBonisa nakaza©AndyT The gasflame nudibranch is a large and beautiful nudibranch densely covered with soft spines or cerata — which comes from the Greek word “keratos”, meaning “horn”. This species is endemic to the South African coast and is found only from the Atlantic coast of the Cape Peninsula to Port Elizabeth, from the intertidal border to at least 30 m. See the adult here. The egg mass is globular, highly convoluted and usually attached to branched organisms, such as gorgonian sea fans. It is usually cream coloured, but may be pinkish as shown.
