🎃 Species Spotlight Halloween Edition 🎃
We’re excited to highlight the skeleton shrimp 🦐, a creepy critter that has an awesome ability to hide along algae, bryozoans, and hydroids. This stunning video was captured by Angela Jones from the Helmuth lab using OGL’s microscope.

Can you see it? 👀 Pictured is a baby sacoglossan, measuring at only around 2 millimeters! In the video you can see it eating codium, the algae that they live on and eat. This stunning video was captured by Angela Jones from the Helmuth lab using OGL's microscope. 💚

This video features an Obelia in its medusa stage, which is the second part of its life cycle. In this stage, it freely swims just like a really tiny jellyfish. 🪼 This stunning video was captured by Angela Jones and Mica Weld from the Helmuth lab using OGL’s dissecting microscope.

This video features Obelia in its polyp stage, which is the first part of its life cycle. Obelia asexually forms medusa buds that will eventually split off to continue reproduction.
