Exciting to find some of these washed up. There were many small ones and a few large ones, mainly at this beach and breaker bay. Hardly any on the reserve side of the south coast.
I took some home for photos. They have a crazy radula. I also saw them scoop with their foot to grab air bubbles. Such amazing snails.

Happy to come across these again. A little bit later in the year than normal. I went to a few beaches and there was probably 1-2 wooden bits with them, and 1 big bit of durvillaea covered per beach. I grabbed the washed up bull kelp and put it in a rockpool for photos. Most of the slugs were still alive.
All are the brown type which is interesting.
