Hii same anon! About your question as to if she would phonosynthisize, then i’d point to a specific species of elysia seaslug. That being Elysia chlorotica or its more common name eastern emerald elysia! Elysia choloroctia is one of the many elysia sea slugs that is known for phonosynthesizing food! Though, as far as im aware all elysia sea slugs have this ability. Another fun fact: all gastropods in the elysia genus have elysia as the first name of the species! So yes, elysia could!
very cool animal trivia! wow i can’t believe she was a fucking tree this whole time!
