Fun Facts
The spotted sea hare initially caught our eye due to its ability to ink when harassed and we were further enticed by the magnificent purple color of the ink itself. After running a quick google search, we were amazed at the few number of sites dedicated to this little opisthokont! Once admitting to ourselves that we had never heard of nor seen a sea hare in our lives, we decided to dedicate our time towards putting together a one stop spot for mostly everything you would want to know about Aplysia dactylomela.
