Elysia sp

This "Sapsucker" (Sacoglossan) was very common in Sharm Obhur, North Jeddah, seen here on a particular green algae (? Tydemania expeditionis, again common in the creek) where one could find literally hundreds of these creatures on a night dive at this location. Anything between several mm to about 2cm in length and found between 6-10 metres.
