The Costasiella kuroshimae Sea Slug.

This Sea Slug lives off the coast of Japan, Indonesia and The Philippines and grazes on algae. It forms a unique relationship with algae as it consumes the chloroplasts of its food and then uses the chloroplasts within its own system. photosynthesising and producing its own solar powered energy made from the sun - just like plants. ⠀

The visible surface of Jupiter is divided into several bands parallel to the equator. There are two types of bands: lightly colored zones and relatively dark belts.

The difference in the appearance between zones and belts is caused by differences in the opacity of the clouds. Ammonia concentration is higher in zones, which leads to the appearance of denser clouds of ammonia ice at higher altitudes, which in turn leads to their lighter color. On the other hand, in belts clouds are thinner and are located at lower altitudes. The upper troposphere is colder in zones and warmer in belts. The exact nature of chemicals that make Jovian zones and bands so colorful is not known, but they may include complicated compounds of sulfur, phosphorus and carbon.
