🌊🐌 Élégante, sombre, et pleine de surprises
Le lièvre de mer noir de l'Atlantique (Aplysia morio) est une grande limace de mer aux teintes profondes, qui nage avec grâce dans les eaux chaudes.
Alguivore, hermaphrodite et non toxique pour l’humain, elle est aussi étrange que fascinante.

And, from the same day, the pinkest sea hare. It would not eat you, even if you were tiny.

I had to include the one and only dotted sea hare (Aplysia punctata) I’ve seen at West Runton in my fav photos roundup. This was waaaay back in January! It’s a juvenile (I believe these can get quite big) and rather than sea slugs, these are actually sea snails! They have a shell, but it’s on the inside. Isn’t that cool!? Adorable.
