it's been a minute but the spring was bustling with great tidepooling! I found my first Olive's & Hilton's aeolid nudibranchs

I hate all this. I just wanna play games, watch anime and look for invertebrates.

Here, have a rainbow dendronotus nudibranch.

This is a nudibranch, or sea slug. I love finding them when I’m scuba diving and taking pictures of them as well. Always fun subjects for macro photography.

Some #nudibranch from 04/05!
The new to me ones were the Stubby Dendronotid (first one) and the Hammerhead Doto, which I haven’t included here because this little dude is the size of a grain of rice and my camera just isn’t that good. Other three are Hopkins Rose, San Diego Dorid, and Opalescent.

I caught a pair of velella to show guests on our boat what they look like before they wash up & dry up on the beach, but I think the crew was even more obsessed because they even named them

I released the velella back into the ocean at the end of the trip

while I love the invertebrates I find in the wild, this is my invertebrate at home having one of his no bones days (which is every day for this 17 y/o senior) 🐱🐈
my orange tabby cat lay between my partner and I's legs with his body pointed in one direction, but one leg and his head bent in the opposite direction

✨💜 galaxsea slug 💜✨

We have some lore on the stream about sea slugs - they are actually alien creatures and some of them relocated to the ocean long ago. The ones still in space are galaxy slugs and live on asteroids lol

A fictional sea slug that looks like it's a glowing blue and purple galaxy with lots of stars and some constellations (with lines connecting the stars together). The background is of space, with some stars and dark purple and blue nebulas.

These guys feed on hydroids, bryozoans, crustaceans, ascidians, and snails.

A perfect day and a great turn-out of 40+ people for the Mumbles Seashore Safari yesterday led by Matt Green and Winter Dotto of Marine Matters. Huge thanks to them! Fab finds including a glamorous Nudibranch, baked bean sea squirts and native oysters!

Here, take an octopus knitting my feelings for your Friday morning. Happy almost weekend

🐙🐡🦑
An illustration of a ruby octopus holding up their knitting project that is says “Im trying my best” while they hold a ball of yarn and a water bottle in the other two hands. The background is yellow with a pale white gradient behind the knitting project. The text at the top reads “please be patient” so the full message is “please be patient im trying my best”

A three-lined aeolid nudibranch (Orienthella trilineata) found last month during dockfouling in Morro Bay, CA. Perhaps 15 mm long! 🦀🦑📸OlympusTG6
A small sea slug that is clearish white with a median white stripe that forms a Y shape where it extends onto the oral tentacles - these tentacles, and the rhinophores have orange tips. The cerata on the back of the slug are colored like the body but have brilliant orange red tips.

#Nudibranch superpowers! I'm updating the blog on my website with tidepool meanderings, starting with nudibranchs. Here is my Monterey #tidepool favorite, Hopkin's Rose. It uptakes its color from its prey, Rosy Bryozoan.

just did my first two scuba dives since 2017 and saw a cuttlefish and a ghost nudibranch (among many other things) here in northern Sulawesi - anyway I need to get back into this, it’s nice to just be concerned with colorful slugs
