A 'Sea Lemon' is a flattened oval marine mollusc without shell, which feeds on sponges and other sessile animals. The roughened skin and oval form as seen from above suggest the fruit for which the animal is named (lemon). Taxonomically it is a family of several genera, the Dorids after the sea goddess Doris.
