Description
Elysia evelinae is another leaf-like sea slug that’s typically associated with algae-rich areas. Underwater, it can look like a small fragment of vegetation, especially when it stays still between feeding bouts. With a careful look, divers may observe its subtle crawling and feeding behavior on the algal surface.
