Large Seahare

This seahare was put on display by a guide, but I kindly refused to hold it. I prefer it to be kept in peace, not to mention I don't like holding slimy things I don't know.

      Thanks to your this previously un-identified ID, I was able to correct my mistaken ID of this Seahare from Philippines :
      
      Your observation, Aplysia dactylomela - Spotted Seahare is definitely documented from Brazil.
