Elysia nisbeti [Elysia nisbeti]
Description
Elysia nisbeti is a small, leaf-like sea slug that divers may encounter in areas with abundant algae. Its overall appearance is often understated, but its leafy silhouette and slow, steady crawling make it a satisfying find for macro-focused divers. If you see one, watch for brief pauses—these slugs often settle into place as they graze.
