I just got to see a different species of kleptoplastic sea slugs in the wild last month, on a kayak tour of the mangroves around Key West. Our guide scooped some lettuce sea slugs up in a plastic container (and then returned them safely). They were bigger, about 3 inches long, with a wavy/frilly green border. It made my biologist heart very happy!

Makes you imagine a world with high solar power density and maybe lower gravity or something where larger land animals might be realistically supplemented by solar energy as well.

Closer to the sun (high solar power density) and smaller (lower gravity)... I think we actually have one of those nearby?

Do you consider things that are inside a house to also be outside a house?

Things inside this house are indeed outside that house.

Some infinite water supply would be probably helpful there.
