Bursatella leachii
Also known as Woolly Sea Hare, this marine creature always has long, branched papillae all over its body and small blue (sometimes emerald green) spots.
I spotted this critter on a rock very near the shore, at a depth of no more than 2m. This was at Babusanta Beach, Talikud Island.

Great, Blogie !
Thanks, Argy! Problem was, when I was taking the photos, it was so close to shore that the water was very turbid. The critter was actually covered in silt -- so now it's impossible to see if it did have those blue or green spots!
Sure looks like many of the others Blogie. Nice light and colour. Well done.
Can anyone help confirm if this critter is indeed a seahare?
