Have you ever seen one so big or green?

About a week earlier then I expected. I think we have babies..... I hope these are oxyanoe .

I'm not seeing a shell on these like I would expect to on larval/juvenile Oxynoe slugs, so I'm inclined to think it's not one of those. That said, I can't find any pics of the larvae to compare with at the moment, so I may be wrong (I'd just think it unlikely in this specific instance).

Yeah. Its an internal shell and I'm sure it starts pretty small as the eggs were pretty small. I'm sure in a week or 2 they will be more defined.

I have seen a couple green guys showing up, the white molluscs are stomatella.

I'm not sure they're Stomatellas either, as those still have noticeable (at least in pics) shells - the lack of a shell makes them look like they might be some sort of nudibranch like an Arminid species or something to me.

I can't say for sure from the video though.
