Is this not nudibranch lovemaking we are seeing? Aren't there two of them there? I thought that long translucent thread might be a chain of eggs - but I know little (correction: nothing) about these critters' biology. And the whole sequence has a kind of intensity!
I once read a description of land snail courtship and mating as being quite a lengthy affair. Maybe not "vaster than empires, and more slow" - - but better than some homo sapiens manage!
