Elysia pilosa [Elysia pilosa]
Description
Elysia pilosa is a small, leaf-like sea slug that can look surprisingly delicate against the seafloor. Divers may spot it perched on algae or among benthic plants, where its shape and coloration help it disappear into the background. With patience, you can often observe its gentle, deliberate movements as it feeds.
