Someone said my sea sheep/sea slug art would work as a pokemon and...I think it could if you actually did some design clean up so I took a quick crack at it.

This cute sap-sucking sea slug aka Shaun the Sheep:) Costasiella Sp. They feed on algae and are found on the algae they eat. Checking each solitary green seaweed (Avrainvillea erecta) , manged to find a few along the intertidal area. It also sucks the chloroplast from the algae and stores it within its tissue. This allow it to supplement its diet through photosynthesis. #shaunthesheep #seaslug #intertidallife #video #intertidal #Green #seaweed #memories #pulauhantu #sapsuckingseaslug #tg5 #video #marine #throwback #macro #nparksbuzz (at Pulau Hantu) https://www.instagram.com/p/CdDX7HjF024/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Leaf Sheep!

The Leaf sheep sea slug (Costasiella kuroshimae) are adorable and tiny growing only 5 millimetres to 1 centimetres 

They eat algae in the shallow waters off the coast of Japan, Indonesia and the Philippines

They are able to keep the chloroplasts from the algae and are therefore able to also use photosynthesis
