🔍 Description:
The Lettuce Nudibranch is a beautifully ruffled sea slug named for its leafy, lettuce-like appearance. Its vibrant green or green-and-white coloration comes from symbiotic algae (zooxanthellae) absorbed from its food — allowing it to photosynthesize like a plant!

While not a powerful algae remover compared to snails or urchins, the Lettuce Nudibranch can help reduce film algae and some soft nuisance algae, and makes a fascinating display animal for peaceful reef tanks. Its slow, graceful movement and exotic appearance make it a favorite among hobbyists.
