That’s what I thought initially but this is completely smooth where most examples of sea hares I’ve ever seen have a “fuzzy” look

The patterns vary greatly, but if it does not exhibit rough-looking surface, it may be Aplysia punctata, another "sea hare", which also exhibits this color pattern.

Thanks for the help

It definitely has the hare look in terms of its face and pattern
