Elysia cornigera [Elysia cornigera]
Description
Elysia cornigera stands out for its leaf-like body and the way it can resemble small fronds or seaweed tips. Divers searching along algae-covered substrates may find it resting in place, relying on camouflage to avoid attention. If you watch closely, you may see subtle movements as it adjusts its position while feeding.
