Hi,
I spotted some interesting creatures while snorkelling and am wondering if they are sea slugs (see attached picture). I'd love to know more about these strange little creatures.
Locality: Clovelly bay, Sydney,, about 1 m , New South Wales, Australia, Pacific ocean, 21st February 2010. Length: about 15 cm. Photographer: Eve Jary.
cheers,
Eve

This is a type of Sea Slug which we call a Sea Hare. Its name is Dolabrifera brazieri. Have a look at the Fact Sheet for that species for more information
See the General Topics List for more information on Sea Hares.
Best wishes,
