Guernsey commercial crab fisherman, Clive Brown, brought these two aeolid sea slugs, Aeolidia papillosa, from one of his crab pots off Guernsey's south coast.  I photographed them exchanging gametes in an aquarium on 2 August 2003.  These nudibranchs are hermaphrodites so they can always exchange DNA when they meet.
