That's a real pisser!

I was at BHB on Saturday and came across this thing near the sunken foot bridge on the east side. Can someone tell me what in the world it is? I took video of it for a couple of minutes and it "flowed" (best way to describe vs. floated) along the ground, almost like a blob you'd see in a horror movie. I've never seen anything like it and would love to know what it is. It was creepy and cool at the same time. Thanks.

It's an Atlantic black seahare, Aplysia morio. A type of marine mollusk related to snails but their shell is internal.

There was some discussion of this critter on The Blue Heron Bridge Dive Club on Facebook a couple days ago. Or, Google the animal.

Thank you guys. I'll go look it up some more.
