Chaunacops are one of the neater fish I've seen on the seafloor. I wonder if the skin feels rubbery or slimy? This one deflates itself. Their side profile is hilarious, so I put a video of that ⬇️. #SchmidtOcean dive 639 #SEPacificSeamounts #MarineLife

Brought home two more corydoras catfish today and didn’t realize till I got home that one of them has a cloudy eye… I’m quarantining and treating them for bacterial infection

Giant clam declared critically endangered after CU Boulder assessment
Once abundant, the massive, colorful clam is now locally extinct in many regions, with a critical drop in population due to overfishing and climate change.

As the fish swim back to places they haven’t reached for more than a century, scientists will watch for signs of the watershed’s recovery.

In all the years I have been watching divestreams (roughly 10 yrs) I have never seen a heterpod/sea elephant. This pelagic snail was massive, about 30cm. The vestigial shell is at the bottom, modified foot sticking out like a fin from the side, & a proboscis snout. #natiluslive #marinelife #palau

Octopus, squid and cuttlefish arms evolved to ‘taste’ different compounds
Octopus suckers can taste a variety of greasy, sticky molecules, while squid and cuttlefish suckers detect bitter compounds.

The Satinfin Shiner (Cyprinella analostana) is a true minnow native to NY south to SC. While many people call any small fish "minnows", that is often inaccurate because not every small fish is related. However, shiners are considered true minnows belonging to the Family Leuciscidae (1/5) 🐟🐙🦈🐋🧪🐡🐠

I hate when people go “sharks are just silly water dogs, but DOLPHINS are the real evil psychopaths”
Pushing human morality onto animals is never productive, we don’t need to redirect the demonization of sharks onto dolphins, we need to just stop demonizing animals altogether.
