Elysia trilobata [Elysia trilobata]
Description
This species appears as a delicate, leaf-shaped sea slug with a lobed outline that can resemble a tiny piece of seaweed. Divers may find it slowly moving along algae-covered substrates, often blending in with the plants it feeds on. Its camouflage and gentle, unhurried behavior make it a satisfying find during reef and rocky-shore dives.
