Happy (or at least paused despair?) #MolluscMonday! This species shows some extreme sexual dimorphism. Not only is the gorgeous webbing (blanket) only found in females, but the males are teeny tiny.
Inspired by pcaiger's Robson's blanket octopus observation on inaturalist.

I look more and more like this crab every day.

Happy summer solstice! Since we're celebrating the sun, it seems like a good time for an ocean sunfish! Like us, they like to bask in the sun after a cold dive to warm up ☀️ 🐟

I'm on PST so this still counts for #MolluscMonday, right? (right?!?) Meet the smooth giant clam (Tridacna derasa) 🐚✨ It's name is a bit misleading as it still has plenty of texture, just not quite as much as its cousin, the giant clam (T. gigas).

Happy Friday the 13th! It's not Halloween but it is spooky so here's a painted wooly bat 🦇 ❤️
Reminder to not buy taxidermied ones online - they aren't bred in captivity so all those specimens are wild-caught. Removing that many from the population isn't sustainable.

Love seeing everyone's work on this thread!
Here are some favorites from my recent series - definitely niche but depending on your project, might work.

I accidentally made this octopus riding a shark into a wildly inaccurate heatmap but this was super cool to see! Happy #MolluscMonday 🐙🦈

The Wunderpus 🐙 (Wunderpus photogenicus) is a master of disguise - It hides in its burrow with six arms while waving the other two like venomous sea snakes 🐍

The Mondays just seem to keep on coming, ready or not.
This week was a busy one but #MolluskMonday has arrived! Here's a quick sketch of a Caribbean reef squid (Sepioteuthis lessoniana). If you're lucky enough to see these in the wild, they'll likely be in a small shoal.

A bioluminescent octopus (one of the very few) for this #MolluscMonday! Stauroteuthis syrtensis, the glowing sucker octopus, has modified sucker cells that produce light.

Happy #molluscmonday! May I present a showstopping cephalopod, the flaboyant cuttlefish. Instead of swimming away when threatened, this species makes undulating bands of color. These shocking hues act as an alarm when predators come around.

TIL flapjack octopuses don't have ink sacs or radulas. They eat little worms and inverts thru find after stirring up sediment.

Starting off @sarahmackattack.bsky.social's #NearbyNature2025 with the Garibaldi, California's state marine fish!
I've seen these guys around the #channelislands and just learned the males create circular nests and fiercely guard their eggs.

A blue dragon sea slug (or Glaucus nudibranch) for this week’s #MolluscMonday requested by @roxanadaneshjou.bsky.social
I was lucky enough to find several of these during fieldwork last year - we were both looking for cnidarians!

West Indian Manatee
One of my favorites - I'm always grateful to see these guys. ❤️
However, they're still threatened, and their main dangers are boat collisions and cold stress. If you're in a place with manatees, pay attention to the no wake zones

Today's #molluscmonday : a glass squid (Megalocranchia fisheri)! I know it looks blue here but these guys are almost completely transparent except for their chromatophores (the little orange spots).

I'm considering restarting my old habit of doing a #MolluscMonday drawing every week to keep my art skills from atrophying while I write.
Help me out by telling me what molluscs I should look into! It can be your favorite one, a weird one, a pretty one, an ugly one, whatever!
Squid here, just bc
