Sea slugs are hermaphroditic creatures that live on the seafloor with naked bodies and an ovipositor groove connecting the male and female reproductive openings. Sea slugs are distributed in warm sea areas around the world and are also found in China's warm sea areas. It is the first animal discovered by scientists that can produce the plant pigment chlorophyll.

In nature, the strong prey on the weak, and sea slugs with soft bodies are easily harmed. In order to protect itself, it wears changing "camouflage uniforms" so that it can adapt to any environment it crawls into. It turns green among green algae, red among red algae, and brown among brown algae. In the colorful coral reef environment, it blends in with the corals, and its protective color is almost indistinguishable from the real thing. But they are bound to reveal their flaws, and when they encounter enemies and find it difficult to escape, they use "chemical weapons". It turns out that it has two kinds of glands in its body, which can secrete toxins and purple fluids respectively. The former can anesthetize the enemy's nerves and make it lose its attack power, while the latter is like a "smoke bomb". Under the cover of a toxic purple smoke screen, the sea slug can take the opportunity to escape calmly. Hence the name.

Sea hares are cold in nature, sweet in taste and edible. Coastal fishermen usually prepare sea hare sauce on the spot. Nutrient content (per 100 grams): Sodium (mg) 153.30 Phosphorus (mg) 118.00 Potassium (mg) 167.00 Copper (mg) 1.65 Zinc (mg) 4.60 Iron (mg) 7.00 Calcium (mg) 722.00.

A compound called "Apriloline" was extracted from the body of sea slugs and was found to be an anti-cancer agent through animal experiments. This highly effective anticancer agent made from the glands of sea slugs has a cancer-killing ability that is comparable to the potency of the anti-cancer agent tumor necrosis factor (TNF). Moreover, this preparation only kills cancer cells and is non-toxic to normal cells.

In recent years, Professor Shizuyuki Yamada and others from Nagoya University in Japan have extracted a compound called "Apriloline" from the body of sea slugs. Through animal experiments, they believe that it can be used as an anti-cancer agent. later,

Professor Denichi Mizuno of the University of Tokyo and his colleagues have developed a highly effective anti-cancer agent using the glands of sea slugs. Its cancer-killing ability is comparable to that of tumor necrosis factor (TNF), which is currently used as an anticancer agent. Moreover, this preparation only kills cancer cells and is non-toxic to normal cells. The emergence of anti-cancer preparations for Aplysia has made the Aplysia famous.
