Elysia slimora [Elysia slimora]
Description
Elysia slimora is a small, leaf-shaped sea slug that divers may encounter on algae-covered surfaces. It tends to stay close to its food source, using its flattened body to blend into the surrounding growth. When you spot one, it often appears calm and motionless, with only gentle shifts as it feeds.
