Cyerce elegans, known as the Fairy Butterfly Seaslug, is a sacoglossan mollusk famous for its leaf-like cerata. These structures are not just for show; they can be cast off to distract predators. Interestingly, this species feeds on algae, sequestering chloroplasts to help provide supplemental energy through photosynthesis.

The footage was filmed in Anilao, the Philippines, in April 2026 with Sony FX3 camera and Sony 90 mm macro lens.

They are so lovely I’m getting every color available next time I pick up seeds 🧡
