Hello!
I took these pictures for my oceanography photo project. I don't know what kind it is though. But I also included a picture of the area where I took it. Just thought I would share!
Locality: Ocean Beach, 1ft, California, USA, Pacific Ocean, 11 February 2006. Photographer: Shannon Fabre.
Thanks!

Fabre, S., 2006 (May 17) Aplysia californica from California. [Message in] Sea Slug Forum. Australian Museum, Sydney. Available from http://www.seaslugforum.net/find/16570Dear Shannon,
I am sure your teacher will say it's good if you can identify the animals you photograph for your project. This is one of the common Sea Hares.in California, and not surprisingly its name is Aplysia californica. The rocky platform in your photo, with its crevices and pools, looks just the place to find interesting intertidal marine life.
Best wishes,
Bill Rudman
