I like that name but the truth is that these slugs (Elysia Chloritica) consume algae and use the chloroplasts from that algae to conduct photosynthesis. The crazy part of these animals is how they are a perfect blend of animal and plant! Cut they head off of this slug and it would literally look like a leaf with veins and everything. These little guys average about 1 in. long and live in shallow ar
eas, such as tide-pools along the east coast of North America.
