Not much escapes from the sticky, stinging tentacles of a #siphonophore. Body of ~7”, and a net of tentacles extending >6’.
Yes, this creature is on the Do Not Lick list.

This is a swimming sea slug. This type of slug, called a dendronotus nudibranch, can grow nearly a foot long in the Vancouver area where this was filmed. While they're often found on the seafloor, they can also fold their bodies to drift with ocean currents
