Re: Sea Hare found 1/2 mile off Sth Florida

Concerning message #16777:
I found one of these floating/swimming beside me at Miramar Beach, Florida (near Destin). We found it on July 6, 2006. We scooped it up and looked at in a bucket for good 30 mins. It was a rather curious sight for many of us at the beach. Thank you Mr. Rudman for helping us to learn about this creature. I have been here many times and have never seen it until yesterday.
Locality: Miramar Beach, 4 Feet, Florida, USA, Gulf of Mexico, 06 July 2006, Clear with very little seaweed floating.. Length: 4 inches

They are a strange sight swimming along, even if you have seen them many times before - a bit like a large flying fox or fruit bat flying overhead.
Best wishes,
Bill Rudman
