Elysia furvacauda [Elysia furvacauda]
Description
Elysia furvacauda is typically encountered on algae, where divers can find it in the quiet, close-up world of reef crevices and rocky growth. Its body can resemble a small fragment of seaweed, making it easy to miss until you notice the subtle movement. Once spotted, it’s a fascinating example of how these slugs use both form and color to stay hidden.
