It's actually a type of "photosynthetic" sea slug.
Following taken from Wikipedia -
"Many sacoglossans are green in color, and this is because they sequester, and utilize within their own tissues, living chloroplasts from the algae they eat, a very unusual phenomenon known as kleptoplasty. This earns them the title of the "solar-powered sea slugs", and makes them unique among animals."
They are really neat imho. I like them. They need caulerpa to survive, so you have to have it. Prolifera is the preferred type...lord knows I have enough

If they start to overpopulate, you could send me a few!

Super nice!

If they start to over populate I would be happy to send you some. I am not a fan of killing anything, I would prefer to pass it along
