No shell? Sea Hares have an internal shell. They can grow up to 16 inches, but this particular one was around 8 inches. I found it beached in Saint Andrew's State Park. When I placed it back in the water, it released its purple ink. They are harmless to humans. 4/15/25

Video about mollusks that I found very interesting. Most of it is shot in Florida. It indicates where resources are available to help you with the sorting and identification of your collection. It has people in it you will recognize. It has some really cool photography. And most importantly, it has professional malacologists stressing that the role of the amateur collector is essential not only to their work but also in the overall protection of the molluscan world.
