Scientific name: Stylochidae
Stylochidae, commonly known as the sea hares, are a family of medium to large-sized sea slugs found in marine environments. These gastropods are known for their unique shape and the ability to release a cloud of purple ink as a defense mechanism. They are herbivorous, feeding mainly on algae, and can be beneficial in controlling algae growth in reef aquariums. Sea hares have a gentle temperament and are compatible with many reef inhabitants, but they require stable water conditions and plenty of space to roam.
