Below is comment from Dr. Bill Rudman, go to Sea Slug Forum to read more information
Dear Erwin,
Yes the reproductive opening in nudibranchs are on the right side. In your photo, you can't see the egg ribbon emerging but you can see how the back of the foot is used to manipulate the egg ribbon and help in the process of fastening it to the rock in a spiral.
Best wishes,
Bill Rudman
