Nudibranch laying eggs

This is an awful image of a Nudibranch laying a spiral ribbon of eggs. The current was strong (about 4 knots) at this point of the reef. I took this quick shot as we rocketed past. The first shot is frequently a "test" shot, after which I review and make adjustmants. While I was fighting the current to take the second shot, the current buffeted me into the reef and my leg into an urchin. The inset image is above my left knee after we broke off all the urchin spines. Each blackish dot is a still-embedded inch to inch-and-a-half long needle. Ouch!
