The leaf sheep sea slug (Costasiella kuroshimae) is an absolutely mesmerizing critter of the deep, adorned in vibrant green hues with hints of purple. 🌈✨📸:Alex Mustard Underwater Photography
Leaf sheep slugs possess a fascinating ability called kleptoplasty. They consume algae and retain the algae's chloroplasts, which are specialized structures responsible for photosynthesis. These chloroplasts allow the slugs to convert light energy into food, supplementing their nutrition.
