Elysia crispata, or the lettuce sea slug, is a marine gastropod known for its frilly, lettuce-like appearance and its ability to perform photosynthesis. This “solar-powered” slug steals chloroplasts from the algae it eats, which then continue to produce energy for the slug. It is a large, colorful species found in Caribbean and Gulf of Mexico reefs and is often used in the aquarium trade as a cleanup crew member. #reeftank #saltwateraquarium #aquariumhobby #aquariumlife #fishtank #marineaquarium

How alluring does this lettuce sea slug look? 🐌 🥬 Lettuce sea slugs are small creatures, relative of snails and slugs that lives in the ocean. They can be green or brown and sometimes even have blue / purple features. One of the most fascinating things about them is their ability to photosynthesize. This means they can harness energy from the sun, just like plants, thanks to the chloroplasts they "steal" from the algae they eat. Have you seen a lettuce sea slug before? What color was it? | Div
