Elysia lobata [Elysia lobata]
Description
Elysia lobata is a leaf-like nudibranch that can look surprisingly like a fragment of algae. Underwater, divers may notice its flattened, lobed shape as it rests or creeps along the edges of algal growth. Its slow movements and subtle colors make it a rewarding find for macro-focused divers.
