Hairy sea hare
Bursatella leachii

Order Anaspidea or Aplysiacea

This Hairy sea hare was perfectly camouflaged amongst the algae in the seagrass lagoon. They were plentiful on the day of sighting, and were all gone a few weeks later. (12-15cm)

Our very own Chek Jawa Hairy sea hare is featured on Dr Rudman's excellent Sea Slug Forum.
