But here’s the wild part—it can photosynthesize like a plant. It steals chloroplasts from the algae it eats and uses sunlight to make energy. | Daniel Arenson, Sci-Fi & Fantasy Author | Facebook

Cyerce elegans, a species of sea slug, captivates with its vibrant colors and translucent body. It feeds exclusively on green algae, incorporating chloroplasts into its own tissue, a process known as kleptoplasty. This remarkable adaptation allows it to photosynthesize and thrive in sunlit waters, showcasing nature's ingenuity. 👀 Critter Spotter . . . . . #nudibranch #scubadiving #underwaterphotography #diving #underwater #seaslug #macro #uwphotography #scuba #macrophotography #nudibranchs #pho
