Elysia chlorotica, also called the “Eastern Emerald Elysia” is a bright green sacoglossa found along the Atlantic coast of North America that’s earned the title of “solar-powered sea slug” for its ability to produce its own energy with sunlight and the chloroplasts that it sucks off of algae.

This process, which is similar to photosynthesis, is known as kleptoplasty. Very few non-plant organisms are capable of this phenomenon.
