Elysia asbecki [Elysia asbecki]
Description
Elysia asbecki is a leaf-like sea slug that tends to blend in with the algae it inhabits. Divers may find it in quiet, shallow areas with abundant growth, where it rests and feeds with a calm, deliberate pace. Spotting one often takes a careful scan of the algae canopy and rock edges.
