Elysia margaritae [Elysia margaritae]
Description
This species is typically encountered as a small, flattened sea slug associated with algae. Divers may notice it as a subtle, colorful leaf-like form that holds close to the substrate while it feeds. Because it’s often found in sheltered, algae-rich microhabitats, careful scanning of rock faces and fronds can pay off.
