The eggs are probably from the Frost Spot Dorid, Corambe pacifica, because they're arranged in a circle. The other nudibranch that feeds on these bryozoans, Doridella steinbergi, lays its eggs in a semi-circle or shorter arc. There were a few of these on the hydroids growing on the kelp.

Los animales miniaturos se ven mucho más claro cuando se mueven. Aquí subo un video corto de los briozoos y nudibranquios.
Los huevos probablemente son los del Doris Corambe pacifica, porque están dispuestos en un círculo. El otro nudibranquio que vive en estos briozoos, el Doridella steinbergi, pone sus huevos en un arco de medio círculo o menos. Había unos cuantos de éstos en los hidroides que crecen en el kelp.

I'm having to moderate all comments because Blogger seems to have a problem notifying me. Sorry about that. I will review them several times daily, though, until this issue is fixed.
Also, I have word verification on, because I found out that not only do I get spam without it, but it gets passed on to anyone commenting in that thread. Not cool!
