Pacific Batwing Seaslug (Gastropteron pacificum)Observer
neilmcdanielDescription
This small snail lives primarily a benthic existence on muddy substrates. It is sometimes found in large aggregations when mating and laying the balloon-like egg cases seen here. It may also be found swimming using its two lateral foot lobes, but it is not considered a truly pelagic species (see Wrobel & Mills, 1998).
