It does look like a troll. But please don't put him in your hands and twirl him to make his hair flair:p.

Cute until you know the downside. A friend in Shanghai sent me that photo along with a series of other species in similar algae garb a number of years ago.
According to Alex Cheng the Chinese first SAND PAPER the carapace to get it rough and then introduce the hairy algae to it.

So this literally is algae growing on a turtle. And on purpose.

In the wild it happens pretty naturally, actually!
