海藻中的小精靈(Little Green Gulper)

海蛞蝓居住的地方相當多元，但總不離其食物來源，哪邊有吃的就哪邊去。這種直接住在香蕉藻裡的肯果柱狀海天牛，鑽進香蕉藻裡，吸食細胞液、收集在藻壁的葉綠體，並儲存在自己身上，用來產生能量，所以身體也呈現綠色。在觀察海底的時候，多注意藻類生長的地方就會發現很多 驚喜。

Sea slugs live in diverse habitats but never far from their food source. They go wherever there is food. The Sacoglossan sea slug Ercolania kencolesi has burrowed its way into the algae Boregesenia forbesii, where it feeds on cell sap. This animal collects and stores chloroplasts from the algae in its body for producing energy. Thus, this sea slug appears green. When observing the sea floor, pay attention to places where algae grows, as there might be surprises.
