Recently Discovered Nudibranch: Eggs
Pictured in a microscope image, Flabellina goddardi embryos prepare to hatch from their thin egg capsules in 2008. The 0.1-millimeter-long babies hatch into shelled larvae after about a week after the eggs are laid. The babies feed and grow on plankton in shallow waters off California for a month or two before they settle, metamorphose, and start eating adult food, in this case probably plant-like organisms called hydroids.
