Of the announced candidates for #InvertebrateOfTheYear I'm currently supporting tardigrade!
We all know they have cool traits like going into space and reviving (ours were fine alone for months of covid), and are everywhere. But I love them because they are adorable 😍
Vote tardigrade April 2-4! 🧪

The arrow crab might have the most alienesque shape of all. Found in the wild in the Caribbean, they can be a menace in the reef aquarium, but friendly to people.
Here's one with its own moult!

Sea star post! I thought of @echinoblog.bsky.social I think the first one is a Macroptychaster accrescens. It looks like the second one might be feeding on a sponge. And I haven’t seen a star like the last two before. #AntarcticClimateConnections #MarineLife #SouthernOcean @schmidtocean.bsky.social
