Elysia nealae [Elysia nealae]
Description
This small sea slug is a member of the “leaf” slugs, often seen cruising slowly along algae-covered rocks. Divers may notice its leaf-like shape and subtle coloration as it blends into the seascape, sometimes holding still as if part of the habitat. When you spot one, take a moment to watch its gentle movements—these slugs are masters of staying inconspicuous.
