Common name: Elysia

Elysia is a genus of small, green sea slugs, known colloquially as 'Solar-Powered Sea Slugs' due to their unique ability to incorporate chloroplasts from algae they consume into their own tissues. This process, known as kleptoplasty, allows them to photosynthesize like a plant, supplementing their diet with energy from sunlight. Elysia species are fascinating for hobbyists interested in symbiotic relationships and marine biology. They require specific care, including access to light and appropriate algae for consumption.
