Corner Spotlight: Atlantic Sea Hares in Panama City Beach

The Atlantic sea hare, with its soft body and unique appearance, is a truly fascinating creature to discover in Panama City Beach. These marine mollusks are often found in seagrass beds and are known for their ability to secrete a purple ink-like substance when threatened—similar to their cephalopod cousins, like squid and octopuses. They are herbivores, feeding primarily on algae, and their striking appearance and unique behavior make them a favorite for divers and snorkelers. Keep your eyes peeled for these elusive and beautiful creatures during your next adventure in the Gulf waters! Stay Flippin’ Awesome!
