| Elysia viridis (Montagu, 1804) |
Elysia viridis is a small to medium sized species of green sea slug, a marine opisthobranch gastropod mollusk in the family Elysiidae. There are many people named George Montagu The English naturalist George Montagu (naturalist The Royal Navy Officer George Montagu (Royal In Biology, a species is one of the basic units of Biological classification and a Taxonomic rank. Slug is a common non-scientific word which is often applied to any Gastropod mollusk whatsoever that has a very reduced shell a small internal shell Marine is an Umbrella term. As an adjective it is usually applicable to things relating to the Sea or Ocean, such as Marine biology, Marine An opisthobranch (ō-pĭsʹthə-brăngk is any member of the very large and diverse group of rather specialized highly evolved marine slugs and snails ( marine Gastropod The class Gastropoda or the gastropods, also previously known as gasteropods, or univalves, and more commonly known as Snails Molluscs are animals belonging to the phylum Mollusca.

This sea slug resembles a nudibranch, but it is not closely related to that order of gastropods, instead it is a sacoglossan. A nudibranch (pronounced (BrE or (AmE is a member of one Suborder of soft-bodied shell-less marine Opisthobranch Gastropod Mollusks Sacoglossa, commonly known as the sacoglossans, are a Taxonomic order of small bubble Snails sea Snails and sea Slugs

Distribution
This species lives in the northeastern Atlantic, from Norway to the Mediterranean Sea. Norway ( Norwegian: Norge ( Bokmål) or Noreg ( Nynorsk) officially the Kingdom of Norway, is a Constitutional
Life habits
This species lives in a subcellular endosymbiotic relationship with chloroplasts derived from the alga Codium fragile. The cell is the structural and functional unit of all known living Organisms It is the smallest unit of an organism that is classified as living and is often called An endosymbiont is any Organism that lives within the body or cells of another organism i Chloroplasts are Organelles found in Plant cells and eukaryotic Algae that conduct Photosynthesis. Algae ( sing. alga are a large and diverse group of simple typically Autotrophic organisms ranging from Unicellular to Multicellular forms These chloroplasts provide the Elysia host with the products of photosynthesis. Photosynthesis is a Metabolic pathway that converts Light Energy into Chemical energy. [1][2][3]
