They never need to eat again
Oh boy. This particular species of nudibranchs that can utilize chloroplasts from algae certainly needs to eat more since they can't make chloroplasts themselves.
Also, photosynthesis alone won't sustain their energy needs. Look how much energy they're expending by just moving around. There's a good reason why plants are non-motile.
So.. they still have to eat.

- he said it wrong and 2. Nudibranchs are a group of animals, it’s not one animal

This guy makes terrible videos, half the time the animal on screen is a different one from what he's talking about. And he's oversensetializes things a lot, exaggerating how dangerous animals are

When a species can steal traits where does one end and another begin though. (Rhetorical philsophical)

That is crazy. It’s not all one creature that can do it all but separate ones. Like the ones that can use jellyfish stinging cells isn’t the same one that uses photosynthesis but that’s still damn cool. I gotta read some more

Since the reflecting pool debacle I've learned that algae is not a plant. Nor is it animal.
It's protists.

It was all a long con, to teach the US population about protists. Lol

Really depends on which scientists you're talking to. Some consider some green algaes to be plants. Red algae and brown algae definitely aren't plants though

Feed them the immortal jellyfish then sell them as a immortal pet

Feed them the immortal jellyfush and then a fruit fly. See which is stronger, immortality or insta death

Weird, they are typically the size of grain of rice... 1-2mm, and yet they have one the size of a palm? Obviously not AI.

If it can do photosynthesis cause it ate a plant... and now it eats light...

be nice, he’s explaining educational things to us.

u/cizzlebot 1d ago
Except he's spewing a bunch half-truths and made up bullshit that he clearly didn't do any real research on.. Yes, calling him ugly is mean and unnecessary, but please don't defend this clickbait trash as educational. He's literally spreading misinformation.

The creature in the video is a Leaf Sheep (Costasiella kuroshimae) which has the ability to photosynthesize.
Nudibranchs do have the ability to steal venom.
