Fluorescent hermit #crabs - one of the species we get locally glows under ultraviolet light, like many marine animals. Whether there’s any function to this is mostly unknown still.

NEW RESEARCH: Seamounts are a HUB for sharks!
New research on seamounts off Ascension Island has found that there are 41 TIMES the amount of sharks there than in the open ocean, despite no increase in primary productivity.

Can you believe this tiny cushion star is just 1 cm in size? They are among the smallest and most colourful of all starfish and live in the upper shore #rockpools here in #Cornwall. The red spots on the very end of the arms are eyes!

Conger eels are something of a rarity off East Yorkshire, with only a handful of official recordings between the Wash and Middlesbrough (about 200km of coastline). Luck would have it then, when one photo-bombed a BRUV recording over an inshore wreck earlier this year. 🦑🌍 #ukunderwater
