The Sea Hare, brown, black or red, is 5 to 20 cm long. It evolves on sandy and rocky bottoms up to about twenty meters deep. It also swims in open water. It has a very elaborate defense system and it deceives its predators by throwing a jet of purple ink towards them.

Aplysia fasciata
Macro
Pisse-vinaigre, aplysie mouchetée, Dotted sea-hare

Food

Sea hares feed mainly on algae, microorganisms and fish spawn. It rasps them with its mouth although it has many rows of small teeth. It also eats the crusty organisms that are on the algae.

Breeding

The sea hare is both male and female. During mating, they form a chain by linking their reproductive organs. They lay millions of eggs that are contained in a jelly-like ribbon which is several meters long and can change color depending on the maturity of the eggs. Juveniles migrate with the current and fall to the seabed to start their adult life. The juveniles have a red coloring that fades when they reach adulthood, depending on their species.
