Common name: Sea Hares

Anaspidea, commonly known as sea hares, are a group of large, marine gastropod mollusks. They are notable for their soft bodies and the presence of a small, flat, internal shell. Sea hares are herbivorous, feeding mainly on algae, which makes them beneficial in controlling algae growth in reef aquariums. They have a unique defense mechanism, releasing a cloud of purple ink when threatened. This order includes species like Aplysia californica, which is often studied for its neurobiology due to its large nerve cells.
