Sea slugs, particularly the Elysia chlorotica species, engage in a fascinating symbiotic relationship with algae, specifically the green alga Vaucheria. These sea slugs consume the algae and incorporate chloroplasts from the algal cells into their own tissues, allowing them to perform photosynthesis. This process, known as kleptoplasty, enables the sea slug to derive energy from sunlight, while the algae benefit indirectly by being consumed and dispersed. This unique relationship highlights the intricate connections between different life forms in marine ecosystems.

Sea slugs, particularly certain types of sacoglossan sea slugs, have a symbiotic relationship with algae.

Thus, the relationship benefits the sea slug by enhancing its nutrition, while the algae serve as a food source.
