I shot some pictures of those Flabellina Affinis here in Sardinia:
The first question is if it is a Flabellina Affinis or Flabellina Pedata
The second question is are the pink balls inside eggs and the pink string in picture 2 also egg filaments?

Picture 1 Nikon D800 / Nikon 105mm Micro VR / 2 INON Z-240 strobes
Picture 2 Nikon D7000 / Tokina 100mm Macro / 2 INON Z-240 strobes

Thanks!

Chris

It's Flabellina affinis. The second photo shows egg masses.

Scubamarli,
thanks for your quick answer!
but i think that i may formulated my question unclear:
On picture one, the Flabellina is filled with pink "balls", are they eggs or just some kind of interiors.
I attach another picture and a crop of it
Thanks so much!
Chris

I think they could be the ovotestis follicles. See this post http://wetpixel.com/...showtopic=46612 as there is some explanation there, as I has seen something similar.
