Warty Seacat

Dolabrifera dolabrifera

I noticed something odd shaped clining to the underside of a flat rock and stopped to take another look. To my suprise I found this Warty Seacat in an area of rocky, algae covered, dead coral mounds, which was not suprising, but the fact he was in about 3 feet of water was. They should call thhis species the Rhino Seacat because his head reminds me of a Rhinoceros's head. Like other sea slugs, they have rolled rhinophores where you think their ears should be and two more rolled oral tentacles on the sides of his mouth. The skin is covered with spiky little papillae.
They are known to be uncommon sighting, but if you've got an eagle-eye- you never know what you'll find or where. He was about 2.5 inches long when stretched out.
