Mottled Sea Hare
This 5" long sea hare was on the beach at City Island. A gastropod/mollusk, it has a small interior shell and normally lives in sea grass in shallow waters.
Look closely to see the button eyes on the right above and left below. The sea hare's "horns" can barely be made out below on the left. (Double click on photos to enlarge.)
