Sometimes instagram threads are also funny. Nothing like dark humor to get us through the day.

Maybe they just aren’t following users that discuss other things like mud and slime 😅

This fish would like a poem !

From the International House Hunters archive…

Where will these coral larvae find their next home? Will it be smooth corner A, smooth corner B, or waggle dance spot at the center of town? Stay tuned! 🌊🪸🔬

I wish I was this sea turtle today… just vibing and chilling underwater. 🌊 🪸 Not sure if laying on a sponge like that is super comfortable though… #MarineLife

Just a little baby coral under the stereo microscope. This tiny animal is about 1mm in diameter, but will hopefully one day be a big coral colony that helps build a reef! 🪸 🧪🔬 #MarineLife #Coral

I’m so excited about all these cute doggie pics! Here’s my little Luna 🐾

Luna wanted to ask everyone if this was her good side.

Not sure where I saw this, but i saved it to remind myself not to pick up new projects without finishing what I have on my plate 😂 #AcademicSky #PhDSky what do y’all do to make the final push and wrap up projects?

This french angelfish got all up in the camera like “you got a problem ese?”

Behold a groovy brain coral! This species, Diploria labrynthiformis, has been having a hard time surviving across the Caribbean. We hope we can continue to help grow little babies to help repopulate the reefs. #MarineLife #CoralScience 🪸

I spend some of my free time gathering photos of baby corals under the microscope because I find them irresistibly cute!

Everyone should see how adorable these little animals are in their first few months, plus their dramatic fluorescence patterns are stunning. 🌊🪸🔬 #MarineLife #CoralScience

I study coral reproduction and genetic variation. I love to celebrate new life and the possibilities that arise from new differences. 🪸

Enjoy this picture of the pillar coral (Dendrogyra cylindrus) that I have visited over the past couple years. I hope they’re still alive.
