Often looks fuzzy due to sedimentation. Found hanging on deep rock walls and reefs or standing on rocks.
Round, thick shell. One of the largest scallops in the world. An orange mantle with sensory tentacles and blue eyes fringes the shell. Permanently attached to substrate, does not detach and swim around.
Shell is mottled greenish and reddish brown with areas of white or blue. Radial ridges span over a spiral sculpture. Only abalone in Pacific Northwest.
Large, round creamy-colored or pinkish shell. Soft body is translucent brown or gray. Only found in soft sediment. Lays eggs in a clay-like, round mass.
Reddish brown coloration can vary with background. 8 suction cup-filled arms are 3-5 times the length of the body. Look for a pile of discarded shells to find the opening to a den.
Flat body with a small, rounded tuft of gills at the back of the body. (Similar sp. Hudson’s yellow margin dorid is found only shallow subtidal depths and has larger sensory organs in the front.)
