This is one of those ridiculous animals that I saw pictures of in books when I was young and somehow it never entirely clicked that they are real :D

The Sea Creature of the Day is the Blue Sea Dragon!!! (Glaucus Atlanticus)

i've been thinking a lotttttt about nudibranches for the past couple days so apologies for the 700 more posts im gonna make about them :3 i thought it'd be nice to talk about one of the coolest/ most popular of nudibranches for today though 🥰🥰🥰

honestly these lil guys live the life. floating upside down on the currents, eating horrifying siphonophores and stealing their stinging cells, and also looking so incredibly cute while doing it? mmmmmwah 💜💜💜💜

the only downside is that because of their sting, ill never be able to hold one 😔

How about Maratus rainbowi? (a silly lookin type of peacock spider ^^)

The silly guy from Webbed! Magnificent. I'll be doing the poll on Maratus spendens, because Maratus rainbowi seems to be an inactive taxon. I've included a picture of a female, just for fun.

💜 Hope you all had a Grim Adventure of Halloween.
