				Life cycle and mating behavior				
					परिपक्व अवधि | पुनरुत्पत्ति | मछलीऔ का अंडे देना | Eggs | Fecundity | Larvae				
			
			
				
					Members of the order Nudibranchia are simultaneous hermaphrodites.  Mating behavior:  Both individuals darts their penis toward each other to induce one to act as a male and the other as the female.  The victorious one to penetrate the body wall is the dominant male.  Life cycle:  Eggs are deposited on a substratum where they develop and hatch into (planktonic) vestigial veliger larval stage and further grow as adults.
