snoop1130 Posted March 7, 2016 Share Posted March 7, 2016 More than 1 million sea slugs wash onto Phuket beachKongleaphy Keam PHUKET: -- Marine experts are attempting to understand why more than a million sea slugs washed up on a Phuket beach this morning.The name ‘sea slug’ is a common name used specifically for gastropods that are not shell-bearing or appear not to be shell-bearing. Experts believe that the sea slugs found on Kamala Beach are, in fact, sea hares. However, they have yet to determine the exact species.“Adult sea hares are mostly large, bulky creatures. Juveniles are usually not noticed along the shoreline,” said Kongkiat Kittiwattanawong from the Phuket Marine Biological Center (PMBC). “However, that doesn’t appear to be the case here.” Full Story: http://www.phuketgazette.net/phuket-news/Video-Report-than-million-sea-slugs-wash/63351?desktopversion#ad-image-1-- Phuket Gazette 2016-03-07 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

worgeordie Posted March 8, 2016 Share Posted March 8, 2016 The correct name for them is Nudibranch,and if they are been washed up on the beach like that,in such numbers,the water is polluted,most likely with heavy metals. regards Worgeordie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jonmarleesco Posted March 8, 2016 Share Posted March 8, 2016 When I saw 'sea slugs', I immediately pictured fat farang tourists and expats with their gormless grins, red bodies and incessant whining. Noticeably, you don't post a picture of yourself. Just as well, no doubt. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
