Haminoea cymbalum. This herbivorous sea-slug is known as a 'bubble-shell' because of the round shape of its nearly transparent shell. Species of Haminoea are common on sandflats and sea-grass beds in many parts of the world. They have three large toothed gizzard plates to grind up the weed they feed on (20mm).
