	Sunbathing Sea Slugs That Steal The Ways To Use The Rays by William Capman, Ph.D. - Reefkeeping.com
		Though lettuce sea slugs are remarkably good at keeping the chloroplasts alive and functional, to maintain their solar collector arrays, lettuce sea slugs suck the cytoplasm from algae on a regular basis (www.seaslugforum.net).
		Lettuce sea slugs are often erroneously referred to as lettuce nudibranchs, but in fact they belong to a different order of gastropods, the Sacoglossa, than the true nudibranchs, which are in the order Nudibranchia.
		The lettuce sea slug and other members of its family are not alone in their habit of gaining extra functionality by using cellular structures stolen from the organisms they eat.

		Sea lettuce is the bright green algae that grow around the world in sheltered rocky coasts and in estuaries.
		Their answers indicated that complete removal of the wastewater from the estuary would reduce sea lettuce by up to 50 per cent in some high- growth locations, but overall the reduction would be only about 20 per cent.
		They also concluded that there would still be the potential for significant growth of sea lettuce with complete removal of the wastewater and large reduction in nutrient loads from the two rivers.

	Maine Coast Sea Vegetables - FAQ/Basic Info
		Because sea vegetables are as low on the scientific research priority list as they are on the food chain, we have to infer in part from studies of other food groups, as well as use our native intelligence and intuition.
		Sea vegetables contain a wide array of major minerals and trace elements, including lead, cadmium, arsenic, aluminum, zinc, chromium and many more.
		Vegetation absorbs the mineral from the soil (or in the case of sea vegetables, from the ocean) and transforms it into one of many forms of organic or colloidal arsenic.

	Augsburg College Biology - Photo of Month - March 2002
		This animal is commonly known as the lettuce sea slug, so named because when the animal is at rest the parapodia make this snail without a shell look a lot like a small head of ruffled lettuce.
		The resemblance of the lettuce sea slug's parapodia to leaves is more than just a coincidence, since these structures, and indeed the entire surface of the animal, function somewhat like leaves.
		The lettuce sea slug is not alone in its habit of gaining extra functionality using cellular structures stolen from the organisms it eats.
