Elysia ellenae [Elysia ellenae]
Description
This species is a small, leaf-like sea slug that tends to stay close to its algal food sources. When divers find the right patch of habitat, Elysia ellenae can be seen calmly resting and then inching along the surface as it feeds. Its camouflage and gentle movements make it a fun, low-key find for macro-focused divers.
