Elysia chavelavargas [Elysia chavelavargas]
Description
Elysia chavelavargas is a small, leaf-mimicking sea slug that tends to blend in with the algae it inhabits. Divers who look closely in vegetated areas may see it resting in plain sight, its shape and color helping it disappear until you spot the subtle movement.
