In these minutes, the slug pierced the algal cell wall (a process that could not be directly observed) and then started to push the head into the alga. After seven minutes the slug had penetrated completely into the tube. Within the algal tube, it moved immediately to the proximal part of the alga, next to the attachment to the coral rubble. A broad transparent creeping track could be observed, where the chloroplasts were missing. The slug then turned round and crawled to the tip of the algal sac, slurping the chloroplast layer at the inner wall of the alga and leaving a second transparent track. It crawled up and down while slurping the cell sap. The mouth opened regularly for this action. After 45 minutes, 2/3 of the whole sac was sucked out by the slug. After 70 minutes most of the chloroplast layer was consumed. Even after that time the slug still crawled from the bottom to the top, searching for untouched areas within the algal sac. After 80 minutes it stopped searching and was crawling rather lazily. We observed sucking movements now and then, but the slug did not take up any of the small patches of chloroplasts which were still recognizable (

After five days, egg masses started to disintegrate and free-swimming larvae were observed within the algal sac. The algal sac disintegrates at the same time; therefore free-swimming larvae escape soon from the alga and tend to swim towards the light. Unfortunately, these larvae were trapped at the water surface and died soon after. Settlement of larvae could not be observed, even in bowls, where
