California sea hare, Aplysia californica






California sea hare, Aplysia californica, Purple gorgonian, Eugorgia rubens, Zoanthid anemone
California sea hare (Aplysia californica) and purple gorgonians
(Eugorgia rubens) with zoanthid anemones (Parazoanthus
lucificum?). Even when aided by a picture, sea hares can be difficult to
describe to someone who has never seen one. In fact, they're even quite puzzling
when you have one in your hand.
