Elysia bennettae [Elysia bennettae]
Description
This species is a delicate, leaf-shaped sea slug that can look like a tiny piece of algae drifting in place. Under good light, divers may notice subtle color tones and a gentle, creeping movement as it searches for food. It’s the kind of find that rewards careful scanning of rocky surfaces and algal growth.
