Sea slug silliness for anyone in need of distractions! Not the best photo, but how many sea slugs can you see? Took this a couple of weeks ago to show a friend what I thought was one tiny green Elysia slug. After I looked again I realised how wrong I was! 🦑🧪🐙 - ThreadSky

Five slugs! Did you spot them all?

This species, Elysia coodegensis, is super-abundant on Sydney's rocky shores, but also very easy to miss!

Ha! Such sneaks! I only manage to spy the top two 😆

That's still good work! 😄 So tiny and camo (apart from when really close up with a macro camera and you see the fancy purple rhinophores!)

Reviewing your photos and finding so many incredible details you wouldn't have otherwise seen is always the best! 😄

I know right! Happens so often too, haha. Here's another one where I was admiring and snapping the sea hare without realise it was being photo-bombed in the foreground by a whole herd of Elysia 😄

I missed the one on the far left, but found the rest. I've got my slug eyes in!

Superb slug-spotting!
