Not mating yet but it does look like foreplay. The last I heard, what it looks like they are doing may also be illegal in Singapore.

Thanks for the pic. Save lazy people like me alot of effort to go diving to appreciate these sea creatures.

As lovely as these and other photos on the forum are, they don't come close to seeing everything up close and personal. For example, the photo of the "mating" jorunna rubescens(?) tells a great story. Watching it inches away with just the sound of your breathing puts you in the middle of a fairytale.

thanks guys for your kind comments, will try and improve with the tips given

teddie: i see you managed to find this thread! thanks for dropping by!

zipps: you forgot to mention swimming into a vortex of jacks. We saw a school at the wreck and since i was too lazy to bring the WA lens and taking pictures of it seemed too tiring (yes, i'm getting lazy), just put aside the shooting and inched my way into the vortex. there's no way to describe the feeling of being surrounded by thousands of fishies on all side
