| SCUBA Divers Info: |
| I really like this little guy. You are most likely to find them at night below about 30 feet on a sand or mud bottom or where that kind of bottom meets a rock wall. The average size is around that of a golf ball but I have seen some real cute ones about the size of your thumb nail. They lay a real destinctive egg that looks like a fake plastic pearl attached to a rock usually in a small crevice. |
 Beachwalkers Info: |
| This animal does not normally inhabit the intertidal zone so you are very unlikely to find it beachwalking or tidepooling. |
| Mollusk |
