Floaty Slug

- Box of Slugs
I have no idea if this is a natural behavior, but it happens quite regularly in the Box of Slugs. This slug is perfectly healthy, she just seems to have decided to drift in the water column for a little while before going back to feeding.
It probably explains why they never seem to survive very long in reef aquaria, which have strong currents and plenty of pumps to suck in a floating slug and chop it to bits.
This blog makes me very (and inexplicably) happy.
Probably because Elysia are often referred to as the “Shmoos of the Sea.”
