Summary description from Wikipedia:
Aplysia oculifera
Aplysia oculifera is a species of gastropod belonging to the family Aplysiidae.
Aplysiidae, or more commonly called sea hares, can be identified by a seemingly lack of an outer shell but instead have a flat, internal shell closely resembling a plate that protects their mantle.
The Aplysia oculifera can come in different colors, but they share these distinct features: dots lining the body, rings around the head, and parapodia that are long and wavy. The species was detailed in the book The Zoology of the Voyage of H.M.S. Samarang written during the years of 1843–1846. British naturalists Arthur Adams and Lowell Reeve are credited with the first descriptions of the species. The species has been found in the Indian and Pacific oceans. There is very little known about this species with sparse publishings about their anatomy.
