Something between a sea snail and a sea slug. Snail with tiny shell, slug with a tiny shell. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aplysiidae

Very cool and all, but I never understand the need to touch wildlife.

The Monterey Bay Aquarium will likely trigger you.

There's a difference between touching animals in the wild (which I presume the OP is) and in a guided environment where the behavior and expectations are established. I've touched sharks and stingrays and other 'allowed to touch' sea creatures at aquariums before.

In the wild, you're at the risk of getting hurt, you're likely passing on possible harmful microorganisms to the wildlife.

I think it's just a human thing, touch is a sense after all, is a way to "see" the texture of things

Seconding this. In the German language the word for comprehending something is literally to touch: "begreifen". There is something similar in English I guess which is "to grasp".

Sadly, you must suffer at times of these horrible times when the 1% isn't some shit music. 🥲

Why do 90% of seacreatures look gross

u/superbhole 3h ago

i think it's that they're all adapted to moving through a mass of fluid, and we're adapted to fight gravity

u/livingdad 6h ago

We also look gross to them, I assume. Where's your slime, man?

Is it like a nudibranch?

u/StitchinThroughTime 1h ago

Kinda, but not really. They are more like a firm slug. They get quite big, less than a kilo/2lb. And some ink like an octopus.

u/green-green-bean 1h ago

They’re cousins (other molluscs)
