Description
Aplysia dactylomela, common name the "spotted sea hare", is a species of large sea slug, a marine opisthobranch gastropod mollusc in the
family Aplysiidae, the sea hares.
This species of sea hare is cosmopolitan, being found in almost all tropical and temperate seas, including recently the Mediterranean Sea.
The colour of the spotted sea hare is very variable, from pale gray to green, to dark brown. There are almost always large black rings on the
mantle. The maximum recorded length is 410 mm.
Aplysia dactylomela is commonly found in shallow waters, tide pools and rocky and sandy substrates, they also will be found feeding in beds of
sea grass. During the day they will mostly hide under large rocks and in crevices. They usually stay in relatively shallow water, but they have
been found as deep as 40 m.
Minimum recorded depth is 0 m. Maximum recorded depth is 3 m

Description
Aplysia fasciata, common name the "mottled sea hare", or the "sooty sea hare", is an Atlantic species of sea hare or sea slug, a marine
opisthobranch gastropod mollusk in the family Aplysiidae.
The length is up to 40 cm. The color is often black or dark brown with an orange or red line.
This sea hare occurs in the Western Atlantic from New Jersey to Brazil, and in the Eastern Atlantic including the Mediterranean and the West
African coast. It is a rare visitor to the seas off the southern British Isles (the related A. punctata is regular along most British coasts, as well as
the northeast Atlantic).
Some consider the species Aplysia brasiliana, found in the Atlantic coast of the Americas, to be a synonym of Aplysia fasciata with just a different
regional colour pattern.

The species can grow to a length of 50 mm. It feeds primarily on species of Eudendrium, a very common hydroid genus in the Mediterranean
Sea.
Flabellina affinis is often confused with Flabellina ischitana, but can be distinguished as follows:
Flabellina affinis: the outer part of the digestive gland in each ceras is not visible as the area beneath the subapical white ring is opaque violet in
colour. Flabellina ischitana: the ceratal surface has no purple-violet colouration and is translucent.
This species is found in depths to 50 m in European waters in the Atlantic Ocean from Portugal to Ghana and the Canaries and is widespread in
the Mediterranean Sea.

Plocamopherus maderae is a species of sea slug, a nudibranch, a shell-less marine gastropod mollusk in the family Polyceridae.
This nudibranch is orange or yellow-orange in colour, with numerous small dark brown spots and fewer, larger, poorly-defined, orange spots and
patches. The mantle edge has three pairs of branched papillae, one behind the branchial plume, one in front and one mid-way along the back.
These are marked with white pigment and there is a variable amount of white pigment along the mantle edge and behind the gills. The papillae
behind the branchial plume bear rounded bioluminescent organs. The tail is long, flattened and has a dorsal crest. It is muscular and can be used
for swimming. The gills are large, sparsely branched and held erect. The rhinophores have lamellate tips and a tapering stalk and are similar in
colour to the body. Maximum size is about 50 mm. This nudibranch is normally nocturnal, hiding beneath boulders in shallow water during
daytime.
This species was described from Madeira. It has subsequently been reported from the Canary Islands and the Cape Verde Islands.
