We often see Shag-Rug Nudibranchs (Aeolidia loui) eating Aggregating Sea Anemones (Anthopleura elegantissima), but I haven't observed them eating Brooding Sea Anemones (Epiactis prolifera) as often.
Below is an even closer view. Epiactis broods its young around the base of the column, so those little dots of various sizes are juvenile sea anemones. This view made me wonder if the nudibranch eats the young anemones?
