Elysia (gastropod)
''Elysia'' is a genus of sea slugs, marine gastropod molluscs in the family Plakobranchidae. These animals are colorful sea slugs, and they can superficially resemble nudibranchs, but are not very closely related to them. Instead they are sacoglossans, commonly known as sap-sucking slugs.Bouchet, P.; Gofas, S. (2010). Elysia Risso, 1818. In: Bouchet, P.; Gofas, S.; Rosenberg, G. (2010) World Marine Mollusca database. Accessed through: World Register of Marine Species at http://www.marinespecies.org/aphia.php?p=taxdetails&id=137928 on 2010-12-14 ''Elysia'' sea slugs graze on algae and some species such as '' E. viridis'' and '' E. chlorotica'' hijack the chloroplasts for themselves (i.e. kleptoplasty). The chloroplasts end up lining the slug's digestive tract, enabling the slugs to survive solely by photosynthesis for several months at a time.This association is crucial for the development and maturing of the slug. Exactly how the slugs use the chloroplasts is unclear, as ma ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Elysia Ornata
''Elysia ornata'', commonly known as ornate elysia or ornate leaf slug, is a species of sea slug, a marine (ocean), marine gastropod mollusk. This sea slug superficially resembles a nudibranch, yet it does not belong to that suborder of gastropods. Instead it is a member of the closely related clade Sacoglossa, the "sap-sucking" sea slugs. Description ''Elysia ornata'' can grow to about in length. It is a translucent greenish-yellow colour speckled with white and black. It has broad Parapodium, parapodia each edged with an orange band and a black margin. The rhinophores are similarly coloured with a band of orange and dark tips.''Elysia ornata'' SeaSlugForum.

Elysia Bangtawaensis
''Elysia bangtawaensis'' is a species of sea slug, a marine gastropod mollusc in the family Plakobranchidae. Although this sea slug resembles a nudibranch, it is not a nudibranch but is part of a rather different clade, the sacoglossans, also known as the "sap-sucking" sea slugs. ''Elysia bangtawaensis'' was first described by Swennen in 1997 from specimens found in mangrove swamps in southern Thailand. The specific name was given to honour the people of Bang Tawa village, the type locality of the species. The author stated that this was because the villagers "had protected their forest against the shrimp culture companies that are converting large parts of the natural productive and complex coastal ecosystems into bio-industrial deserts".Swennen, C. 1997.

Elysia Australis
''Elysia australis'' is a species of sea slug, a marine gastropod mollusc in the family Plakobranchidae. This sea slug resembles a nudibranch, but it is not closely related to that order of gastropods, instead it is a sacoglossan. It occurs in Australia. Description ''Elysia australis'' has a slim, slug-like appearance and can grow to a length of but is a more normal size. In colour it is varying shades of green with splotches of white, sometimes with black speckles. The parapodia are edged with a narrow black line and the tail tip is black. The rhinophores are also dark and there is a distinctive black T-shaped mark in front of and between them. ''Elysia australis'' is not easy to observe because its colour derives from the chloroplast A chloroplast () is a type of membrane-bound organelle, organelle known as a plastid that conducts photosynthesis mostly in plant cell, plant and algae, algal cells.
