The sea hare is also called a "sea slug," and the cuttlefish larva is also called a "cuttlefish" or a "cuttle fish." Both are animals that live in the ocean.In terms of category, sea hares and cuttlefish larvae belong to Mollusca, and they are similar in appearance.However, sea hares are not cuttlefish larvae, they are two different animals, and they can not be regarded as the same animal because they have some similarities.In fact, the difference between sea hares and cuttlefish larvae is quite large, and there are differences in many aspects.
1. Genus difference: Although sea hares and cuttlefish larvae are both mollusks in the phylum Mollusca, the specific categories are different, that is, the classes and orders they belong to are different.Aplysia belongs to the class Gastropoda, the order Gymnoptida, while cuttlefish larvae belong to the class Cephalopoda, the order Sepiidae, so they are two different animals.
2. Difference in shape: There are some differences in shape between Aplysia and cuttlefish larvae.Generally speaking, the rear part of the body of Aplysia is relatively narrow, which is different from the front part of the body.The shape of cuttlefish larvae is oval or round, which is a relatively regular shape.
3. Different living environments: The environments in which they are distributed are different.The prominent feature of sea hares is that they like to live in places where there are many seaweeds, while cuttlefish larvae like to distribute in deeper water.
4, feeding habits are different: Aplysia and cuttlefish like to eat different food.It has already been mentioned that nudibranchs like to live in places where seaweed is abundant, because their food is seaweed.The cuttlefish larvae, on the other hand, feed mainly on fish, crustaceans and mollusks.
