Hello! Love your blog. It's wonderful and is sure to make many people's days. Sea slug request: Cyerce Nigricans or Costasiella Kuroshimae.

🌊Latin name: Costasiella Kuroshimae

🌊Common name: Leaf slug, Leaf sheep, Solar-powered sea slug

🌊Family: Costasiellidae

🌐Near Japan, Indonesia, and the Philippines, leaf sheep can be found underwater, where light is available. Found next to coral reefs.

🦠They live and feed on Avrainvillea - a fuzy algea. They suck on the algea, getting the chloroplasts out and keep them in the ceratas for 10 days. This process is called kleptoplasty. It also means they can do photosyntesis - they’re one of the only sea creatures that can photosynthesize. If needed, it allows them to suppliment their diet in case of need.

More photos of these guys:

🐌 We thank you for the ask! Cyerce nigricans is for another time ;)

P.s: apologies for the late reply!
