The Lettuce Nudibranch, Tridachia crispata, also known as the Lettuce Sea Slug, is a well-equipped algae eater that gets energy from the photosynthetic algae it consumes. They will even take the chlorophyll from the algae and incorporate it into its own tissue. Its body is green and wavy very closely resembling a leaf of lettuce. Tridachia crispata est, de plus, un bel animal, très esthétique, qui mesure environ 5 cm pour le spécimen que j'ai depuis 2 semaines. J'ai attendu un peu pour vérifier le comportement de cet invertébré. Globalement, la limace arpente le petit bac où elle se trouve, lentement, tranquillement, sans jamais aucune brusquerie.
