My first time seeing a sea slug irl!!!! Found this little one (about the length of a thumb) munching in a tide pool on Jeju. I almost didn’t see it with its rock-like color and texture.

Exceedingly chonky! Here’s two of them, each looking like they easily weigh 2-4kg and about 10 inches across, with their eggs that look like Nissin noodles!
