Abalone:

Abalone: Flat abalone, juvenile, likely.
ID thanks to Barbara Lloyd.

Abalone: Flat abalone, juvenile, likely. Mottled yellowish and brown epipodium, with a pebbly appearing surface and lacy edge. but here the tentacles are black not greenish. Of course Kevin Lee's lighting is better than most photographers, so where we thought they were greenish it might really be black?

Abalone: Green abalone, approx 5 inch, ventral view. These should NOT be turned over with force as they can bleed to death (no blood coagulant) if injured. Feed them a piece of kelp and when they rise up for it, gently turn.
