Elysia grandifolia [Elysia grandifolia]
Description
As its name suggests, this species can look especially leaf-like, making it a standout during underwater macro hunts. Divers often find it resting on or near algae, where its shape and coloration help it disappear into the surrounding growth. If you’re patient, you may catch it gently moving along the surface of its food.
