Elysia chlorotica is a littoral sea slug that lives in a subcellular endosymbiotic relationship with chloroplasts of the marine alga Vaucheria litorea C. Agardh, which provide their host with the products of photosynthesis. Although the chloroplasts survive for the whole lifespan of the mollusc, they are not transferred to their young. [1].
