Blue Dragon Nudibranch This is the Blue Dragon nudibranch, Pteraeolidia semperi 🐌✨ Those branching frills on its back are filled with symbiotic algae ☀️, turning this nudibranch into a living solar panel. It feeds on hydroids, then keeps the algae alive inside its body by cruising along sunlit reef areas… basically “charging” them as it goes 🌿 In return, the algae provide nutrients back to the nudibranch… so while it looks like it’s just slowly crawling, it’s quietly running on solar power. Not a bad setup. A very neat nudi! 7/10 #CreatureCritic #BlueDragon #PteraeolidiaSemperi #Nudibranch #SeaSlug #MacroDiving #WeirdWildlife #UnderwaterOddities #ReefLife #OceanCreatures via YouTube https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gDj2OzImyjM

World Oceans June Day 6: Scuba Diving Scuba diving with interesting sea creatures in Scuba Marine? Now that would be a little reef magic!

i always end up doing all the work around here

The large movement of sea animals is humbling… .👀 Sea rays are like the birds of the ocean 💦🫧🫧🫧🫧🤿 ( from my instagram.)

Magpie Crow Butterfly A Magpie Crow butterfly (Euploea radamanthus) landed on Shandon’s hand… which, by the way, had leftover popsicle drips all over it 🍧🖐️ I swear the butterfly paused, inspected the sticky spots, and thought: “Finally, a proper snack!” Points deducted for Shandon embarrassed about his sticky popsicle fingers 🙈 4/10 #MagpieCrow #EuploeaRadamanthus #ButterflyLanding #UnderwaterMoments #TinyDiva #StickyFingers #NatureHumor #CreatureCritic #ButterflyLife #MacroNature #InsectDrama #DiveAdventures #OceanOddities #BlackwaterDive 🦋🍧🖐️ via YouTube https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cG3Jr-Cz60k

Sucker-bum squid 🐙 🦑 Meet the sucker-bum squid, the smallest cephalopod species in the world! Growing to only a few centimeters long, this tiny squid uses a special adhesive organ on its back to stick to seagrass and other surfaces. Despite its size, it’s a fully equipped cephalopod, related to squid, cuttlefish, and octopuses. Proof that some of the ocean’s most incredible creatures are also the easiest to miss. #SuckerBumSquid #SmallestCephalopod #Cephalopod #Squid #MarineLife #OceanLife #ScubaDiving #MacroPhotography #UnderwaterPhotography #SeaCreature #OceanCreatures #MarineBiology #WildlifePhotography #AnimalFacts #NatureIsAmazing #WeirdAnimals #OceanFacts #CreatureCritic #UnderwaterWorld #NatureLovers via YouTube https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Szs-5UQmOBc

Tiny egg thief caught in the act: Favorinus tsuruganus snacking This is Favorinus Tsuruganus, a specialized nudibranch that lives almost entirely off the egg ribbons of other sea slugs. That bright orange swirl beside it? Dinner. Instead of hunting prey, these little aeolids patiently crawl along egg spirals, picking them off one by one. It’s a strange strategy—but a very effective one in the nudibranch world. Nature’s tiniest breakfast buffet. 🍳✨ #nudibranch #seaslug #macro #underwatermacro #scubadiving #Philippinesdiving #seasia #natgeo via YouTube https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0e_VbgJkRIE

Tiny Translucent Shrimp Hiding on a Gorgonian Sea Fan This is a Translucent gorgonian shrimp, a tiny shrimp perfectly adapted for life on sea fans. 🦐🌿 Its nearly transparent body makes it almost invisible against the branches of gorgonian coral, letting it hide from predators while it creeps along the fan. If you look closely, you’ll notice something odd - one claw is much larger than the other. The big claw helps grab food drifting in the current, while the tiny one handles more delicate tasks. ✋ Tiny, delicate, and a master of camouflage. 7 out of 10. 🤿 #CreatureCritic #GorgonianShrimp #MacroDiving #WeirdWildlife #UnderwaterOddities #ReefLife #ScubaLife #OceanCreatures #Shrimp via YouTube https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=b8FROJXvNnQ
