Elysia flavomacula [Elysia flavomacula]
Description
Divers may spot this small sea slug as a delicate, leaf-like silhouette, often tucked along algae-covered surfaces. Its striking patterning can make it stand out against the green-brown backdrop of the reef or rocky shore. With a slow, deliberate movement, it can look almost like a piece of drifting seaweed that’s decided to crawl.
