Common name: Sea Hare

Aplysia, commonly known as Sea Hares, are a genus of large sea slugs found in temperate and tropical seas. They are known for their unique shape and swimming behavior. Sea Hares are herbivorous, feeding mainly on algae, which makes them useful in controlling algae growth in aquariums. They have a gentle disposition but can release a purple ink as a defense mechanism. Due to their size, they require larger tanks with plenty of space to roam.
