Aplysia dactylomela
This sea hare is greenish with spots of a darker green hue. They feed on green algae, and grow to about 40cm in length.
Found singly or in pairs on coral and rocky reefs amongst sand and rubble areas. Circumtropical species.
We spotted this snail-like creature at a depth of less than 5m, near the shoreline. It seems to be stuck to a sea urchin...
