Elysia corinneae [Elysia corinneae]
Description
Divers may spot Elysia corinneae as a compact, leaf-shaped sea slug clinging to algae or slow-moving surfaces. Its coloration and shape help it camouflage among the plants it feeds on. With patience, you can sometimes see it gently reposition as it forages, giving it a “living leaf” feel.
