These mollusks are just so cool, my favorite being the Spanish Shawl Nudibranch. I saw one pop up in the touch pools at the aquarium I volunteer at, everyone was so excited!
Did you know those tendrils on its back is the digestive system? I love them so weird
I love them so much, they’re such weird and wonderful little creatures. I did scrape and bruise the bottom of my foot climbing up a rocky cove just to see some red ones, worth it
They are so fucking cool like do you know how hard it is to see a nautilus in real life it's really fucking hard* and meanwhile you can just go to the aquarium to hang out with one. Excellent
*they only surface for a little while in the super early morning and not even close to shore, at least not when I tried and failed to meet one. I was so sleepy in that tiny rubber boat it was 5am and the nautiluses didnt even show up
My partner and I met over doing patient baths as nurses in the ICU, started by walking out of work together after a year of having a crush, now we live together and have two pets ♥️
