Babakina anadoni species of nudibranch are usually found in warmer waters such as Spain and Portugal. Experts said the creature had only been seen three times in the UK and was the first time the sea slug had been spotted in a rock pool.
For the first time, the bright sea creature has been spotted in the UK in 2022 near the Sili Islands.
Marine biologist Ben Holt told the BBC that finding this species of snail on UK shores is a sign of the effects of climate change and warming waters.
He said the find was surprising because rock pools have a harsh environment due to tides.
