Sea Hare from Mexico

June 7, 2006
From: Valerie Simpson

I found this in a tide pool, quite dead, and no one can tell me if it's even a sea slug at all.

Locality: Puerto Penasco, Sonora Mexico, Pacific, 28 May 2006, Intertidal. Length: approx 6 inches. Photographer: Valerie Simpson

Dear Valerie,
This is, or was, a Sea Hare. Have a look at the Fact Sheet for links to further information on the Forum. I'm afraid it's not possible to identify what species it is.
Best wishes,
Bill Rudman
