Thecacera sesama is a new nudibranch species described on 11 May 2026. It measures less than 3 mm (0.1 in) long — about the size of a single sesame seed. This “sesame seed sea slug” is the first new addition to its genus in nearly three decades.

Elysia viridis: this sea slug engages in photosynthesis by "stealing" chloroplasts from algae and then incorporating those cells into its own body, where they continue to photosynthesize, allowing the sea slug to survive without food for months at a time
