Meet the splangs
Tuesday, January 19, 2010
This little darling is actually part slug, part plant. It's also part awesome, part disgusting. It's a slug that can survive by photosynthesis. Put it in a tank with nothing but sunlight to feed it, and it will thrive.
It's officially known as Elysia chlorotica, but that's an unpleasant mouthful. I say we call them splangs, an unholy mashup of slug and plant. (Hey, it's better than calling them plugs. Or slants. Or sluts. Anything's better than calling them sluts.)
