Sea Hare problem.

This is a pic of a friend's Sea Hare. The blue stuff is coming out of the head. The pink/red part is his mouth that is being pushed out. Any idea what is going on?

Thanks
Renee

That is its penis. It is probably dying.

Sea hares have their penis located in a sack behind their right eye. When the animal gets weak, for some reason or another it often pops out. I would suspect the problem for most specimens in captivity is starvation.
