White-speckled Sea Hares (sometimes called White-spotted or White-ringed) can get quite large, and the six inch (150 mm) reddish-tinged one in these photos looked clearly out of place in the very shallow tide pool where s/he was found. The very large light brown one, found by S. Caley in less than 2 metres of water, was close to 300 mm or 12″ All others in these photos were under 4 inches or 100mm. These sea hares are more of a nocturnal species, and thus are not commonly seen. All of these animals were discovered after a storm or high surf had disturbed their shallow, rocky habitat in the Ma’alaea Harbor and Olowalu areas of Maui.

If you have found a similar looking (and generally much smaller) species, check out the Aplysia oculifera or Eyed Sea Hare.
