Oxynoe antillarum
Oxynoe antillarum is a species of small sea snail or sea slug, a bubble snail, a marine gastropod mollusk in the family Oxynoidae.The type locality for this species is Saint Thomas, U.S. Virgin Islands. O. antillarum feeds on algae, and incorporates the algae's photosynthetic pigments into its mantle. These pigments continue to carry out photosynthesis in the presence of sunlight, allowing O. antillarum to obtain additional nutrition.

Sometimes we do seagrass dives in search for the specific species that we can find there.
Especially for the macro photographers a nice dive to do. 🐌
Like this seaslug species Oxynoe Benchijigua that we found at Graciosa.

Oxynoe olivacea - a sea slug with many skills
Oxynoe olivacea (Sacoglossa - Oxynoidae) is a species of shelled sacoglossan (sea slug) endemic to the Mediterranean Sea, which lives in close association with the invasive seaweed Caulerpa taxifolia, from which it feeds, and sequesters chloroplasts and secondary metabolites (kleptoplasty).
For the last three decades, the Mediterranean Sea has been under invasion of two exotic algae species, Caulerpa taxifolia and Caulerpa racemosa. C. taxifolia was introduced to the Mediterranean due to the accidental release of it from a public aquarium in Monaco.
Due to the specialization of its diet, Oxynoe olivacea has been studied as potential biological control agent against Caulerpa taxifolia. However, it has been found that this could be only possible through an artificial enhancement of their populations after cultivation of the veligers and release of juveniles during the winter season, because these sacoglossan have low feeding rates and their larvae are planktonic.
Furthermore, the major secondary metabolite of the alga is caulerpenyne, a toxic substance with grazing deterrent properties towards herbivorous fish. However, Oxynoe olivacea is able to eat the Caulerpa and even to sequester the toxic component. Experiments with this sacoglossan have demonstrated that the mollusk is also able to biotransform caulerpenyne into more active derivatives, and use them in their own defense.
