An egg mass of some kind - draped across a Grey topshell (Steromphala cineraria) and some Keelworm (Pomatoceros lamarcki) casings. I think it belongs to a nudibranch or sea-snail of some kind - any ID suggestions welcome

Part 2: On the shore
Also today we saw blue jellyfish and a moving toothed top shell, a type of sea snail. Mr Mothman-Spouse took a photo of us on the beach.

The ancient Phoenicians discovered that a particular species of sea snail, called Murex, could be used to make a vibrant purple dye. But it was so labor intensive - requiring thousands of snails just to dye a single garment - that only the wealthiest people could afford it. This is why purple became known as the “color of royalty.”

We are SO close to BE THE SEA's next stretch goal, but right now it's going at a snail’s pace. Perhaps you’ve all been waiting for today’s Sea Creature: a sea snail!
Now let’s zoom off to great heights!

I'm researching carnivorous sea snails, especially Syrinx aruanus, and cannot figure out how they capture and eat polychaete worms. They have a proboscis but nowhere can I determine how they use it. Can any gastropod experts help me? Thanks! #gastropods #SeaSnail #polychaeteworms
I had to include the one and only dotted sea hare (Aplysia punctata) I’ve seen at West Runton in my fav photos roundup. This was waaaay back in January! It’s a juvenile (I believe these can get quite big) and rather than sea slugs, these are actually sea snails! They have a shell, but it’s on the inside. Isn’t that cool!? Adorable.
Remembering the periwinkle-covered shore of Loch Linnhe this summer. I got to watch the teeny tiny snails eat their lunch!
