Aplysia argus Rüppell & Leuckart, 1830
100mm

Aplysia argus is relatively common on shallow reefs around Oahu, such as those at Kewalo Basin, at Campbell Industrial Park near Ewa, and on the intertidal bench off Diamond Head. DNA evidence from Alexander & Valdés (2013) have shown the Indo-Pacific specimens to be different from the very similar Aplysia dactylomela from the Atlantic.
