Most sea slugs are snails that have lost their shells and acquired new characteristics through evolution. For example, Sacoglossan slugs are also called “solar slugs” because they eat algae and absorb the algae’s chlorophyll to nourish tissues – a process that only occurs in single-celled organisms.

In nature, there are many species of sea slugs with different shapes and characteristics. There are species that look like lambs, there are species that look like leaves, there are also species that have strange shapes like they come from another planet…
