Elysia atroviridis [Elysia atroviridis]
Description
A darker, green-leaning leaf slug, Elysia atroviridis is a classic sacoglossan that lives among algae. Divers can sometimes see it perched on algal growth, appearing almost like a small fragment of vegetation. Its slow, steady feeding makes it a rewarding find for anyone diving for macro life.
