Ragged Sea Hares

Comments

 
Also known as Bursatella leachii leachii, Nudibranchs, Sea Hares, Ragged Sea Hare, Hairy Sea Hare, Hirsute Sea Hare, Furry Sea Hare, Blue-dot Sea Hare, Feathery Sea Hare and Frilled Sea Hare.

Found singly in pairs or groups in estuaries and tidal pools
They feed on Green Algae.
Length - 25cm
Depth - 0-30m
Circumtropical

When predators come to close they will discharge a purple fluid to warn them off.

Opisthobranchia - Nudibranchs - Sea Slugs meaning "naked gills" are molluscs without a hard shell.
All opisthobranchs are hermaphrodites.
These beautiful slugs are usually brilliantly coloured and this in itself can act as a deterrent against predators. Some sea slugs secrete acid from stinging cells in their tentacles while others secrete acid from cells in their mantle.
Nudibranchs are slow moving, can swim or be propelled along either by muscular contraction or by millions of tiny hairs on the bottom of a fleshy 'foot', they have a voracious appetite and feed with a rasp like tongue.
Nudibranch lay their eggs in a ribbon effect on the sand, in different colours depending on species.

About the Black Sailfin Blenny fish

They are the most familiar for their stark black tint on their both fins and body. As the Black Sailfin Blenny fish enthusiastically rests on the live rock to nourish, they create a striking accumulation to any sea water reef system. The Black Sailfin Blenny fish breed is also called by other names, such as the Dusky Blenny, Black Blenny, Brown Coral Blenny, Highfin Blenny and Brown Combtooth Blenny.
