More on Sea Lemons

It was a very low tide this morning and I spotted this structure under the overhang. It took me some time to find out what it was. At first I thought it might be some kind of sponge. After searching on-line and in seashore guides I finally identified it as the egg-mass of a sea lemon. I found several examples amongst the rocks this morning. It is a wonderfully delicate flimsy structure.

Sea Lemon (Archidorus pseudoargus).
