Field Notes

Description:

The clade Aplysiomorpha, commonly known as Sea hares, are medium-sized to very large Opisthobranchia with a soft internal shell made of protein. These are marine gastropod molluscs in the superfamilies Aplysioidea and Akeroidea

Habitat:

Saw this on the shore in less than half a meter of water. They are usually found in sandy area, burrowing under the sand during day time.
Saw two of them, and when stepped near to them, they started to swim. Check out the video of it swimming here :
