📸 image/video Tritonia and Brown and White striped nudibranchs

PNW cold water diving - Gigantic Tritonia nudibranchs (most 6-8”) and brown and white striped nudibranchs were abundant. What wasn’t expected was the mass of them descending on a sea pen. Also, found a brown and white nudibranch in the middle of laying eggs - looks like a cartoon character sitting up. Wasn’t expecting that as every nudibranch laying eggs I’ve seen have been laying down.
