The Rose of Life

What looks like the petals of a rose from far is in reality an egg mass of the nudibranch species, called Spanish Dancer, that has been deposited as a spiraling ribbon. This mollusc depends on hard surfaces to attach its eggs.
Despite their abundance in shallow tropical waters, nudibranchs are not well-known animals. And this is only one example of how little we know about the underwater life existing in our coral ecosystems.
