Elysia annedupontae [Elysia annedupontae]
Description
This small sea slug is a “solar-powered” type of sacoglossan, often found grazing on algae. Divers may spot it slowly inching along algae-covered rocks, with a leaf-like look that helps it blend into its surroundings. Look closely for its subtle movements as it feeds.
