Sea Hare - id needed

[Merrow]

apologies for the poor quality of the photo; this came up in a lobster pot when I was out fishing with my friend last month (Valentia, Co. Kerry, Ireland)

it's a sea hare, but can anyone narrow down the id?

Aplysia punctata, most likely.

A. fasciata is much rarer and doesn't quite look like that, although it is more difficult to distinguish them out of the water. Doesn't look like A. depilans either

So I'm pretty confident it's Aplysia punctata

Ah, many thanks for that, sorry that it isnt' the best photo in the world, we didn't want to keep him out of the water for too long. It was the first one I'd ever seen!
