Elysia degeneri [Elysia degeneri]
Description
Elysia degeneri is a leafy sea slug that typically blends in with the algae it inhabits. Underwater, it can look like a small, flattened patch of vegetation until you spot its distinct slug form. Divers who slow down and scan carefully often find these slugs perched quietly, giving the impression of a tiny piece of drifting seaweed.
