California sea hare, Aplysia californica
California sea hare (Aplysia californica) and purple gorgonians (Eugorgia rubens) with zoanthid anemones (Parazoanthus lucificum?). Even when aided by a picture, sea hares can be difficult to describe to someone who has never seen one. In fact, they're even quite puzzling when you have one in your hand.
