Common name: Leaf Slug

Plakobranchidae, commonly known as Leaf Slugs or Sapsucking Slugs, are a family of sacoglossan sea slugs. They are characterized by their flattened, leaf-like bodies which aid in camouflage among algae. Members of this family are known for their unique ability to incorporate chloroplasts from the algae they consume into their own tissues, a phenomenon known as kleptoplasty. This allows them to utilize photosynthesis, supplementing their diet with energy from sunlight. They are fascinating additions to the reef aquarium, but their diet is specialized, and they require a steady supply of specific algae to thrive.
