And yet when I give myself auto-brewery syndrome to keep myself permanently drunk people insist I have some kind of "serious medical problem".
You can live in a symbiotic relationship with your company's break-room policy, but you can't become a host for workers of your own. It's really unfair.
I was wondering why we didn't see any photosynthesizimg animals
Bees (and relatives) do it too. If you need to deal with a wasp nest or something like that, do it at night and their defense will be much less enthusiastic.
When I last dealt with some, knocking down the (small) nests would have a guard harass me until I moved about 10m away from the nest during the day. At night, it would just buzz me a bit before settling back down to rest without me even moving.
Note that I'm not saying it's safe to harass a nest/hive at night, just safer than doing it during the day. The ones I dealt with were small enough that I only ever saw a single guard plus one worker, and even during the day, sometimes I'd just fight the one guard instead of running, since it's hard for a single wasp to sting you if you can track it decently and manage any fear. Trying to deal with a large nest could still be fatal at night.
I'll add to this, sufficient artificial light will wake them up too. So don't point a big light at it in preparation for taking them out, because they'll take you out
"stealing"?! Who wrote this garbage?
this is sorta like how coral does it, and rare instance of jellyfish doing it too.
Cmiiw don't corals keep the algae alive instead of just keeping the chloroplast?
Is this the next Stelaris DLC?
Next? Plantoids have been a thing for ages. And yea you can even be photosynthetic, makes your pops consume less food for more energy
I wish I was one 
So cute!
Reminds me of the slugs from Satisfactory
I see these little guys in the mangrove swamps down in Florida. Very quick
That is really cool!
Also chlorotica does not mean what I thought it did
the process has a great name: Kleptoplasty
A disorder I'd like to develop.
Are fan shirts available?
I recently saw a vid about these things. Another interesting thing they can do is voluntary decapitation. The head can survive and grow new organs, possibly because photosynthesis gives them the energy to keep going and growing.
I should steal some chloroplasts.
