  The #penguinpicoftheday #PPOTD is a couple of emperor penguins standing in the evening sun at Cape Crozier earlier this (austral) spring. Crozier is beautiful but harsh and unforgiving. It’s an amazing place. 🧪🌎🦑🦉

  The final day of #25DaysofCrustmas and we have the largest land living crab Birgus latro- the Coconut Crab. This one is from Chumbe Island in Zanzibar where the population is growing year on year due to protection from the Ranger team there. #Crustmas #🦑 #🦐 #Invertefest

  Oops. Apparently I hadn't opened this for most of the year! Long Covid has not been kind to me, and I've been doing my hermit crab hiding away from the world impression, but I'm kinda back! Will do my best to drag myself out of my shell and reconnect with science-sky. Have an octopup🦑🧪🐙

  
  

  Bugz n Slugz @moistmacro.bsky.social

  Not sure how much time I will have to post #Nudibranch pictures tomorrow so may as well post a few today. This is a juvenile Nembrotha chamberlain from the Philippines. It is sat on its lunch so it’s dinner is relative in size to itself in a the same way my Xmas dinner will be to me tomorrow. #🦑 #🦐

  Monterey Bay Aquarium @montereyaq.bsky.social

  Barnacles are excellent at hide and seek. They spend their adult lives in acorn-like shells and use their cirri (feathery appendages) to catch food. Their cirri are modified crustacean legs. Imagine trying to catch food with your legs while doing a headstand. Would that count as leg day? 🤔

  Anhinga spears a French grunt!! Acts of predation in broad daylight are really rare on Cam; poor lil fishy, but sea birds gotta eat too! #anhinga #seabird #seahunt #predator #predation #coralcitycamera #miami #portmiami #biscaynebay #coralcity #civicpridethroughbiodiversity

  Changing it up a bit for the #penguinpicoftheday #PPOTD, with a brushtail penguin (in genus Pygoscelis), specifically a chinstrap penguin who is asking "look at me, love me, won't you?!" Also. Look at that chick. Need I say more. 🧪🌍🦑🦉

  Day 22 #ArtAdventCalendar We're almost at the end of the Art Advent Calendar! This has been really fun to participate in and I just want to say: Thank You, for all the love & support 😃💕 📸 Melody the Caribbean Reef Octopus sculpture 🐙 #Art #SciArt #MarineLife #Cephalopods #TradArt #Wildlife

  So here is another one of those Bubble Snails that is a #SeaSlug that hangs onto its shell as an adult. It’s worth remembering that not all #SeaSlugs are #Nudibranch - but all #Nudibranch are #SeaSlugs - this belongs to the Aplustridae family and is called Micromelo undatus. #MarineLife #Inverts

  Day 22 of #25DaysofCrustmas and we have a little Porcelain crab that lives on a Sea Pen in the Philippines. They tend to hang off the sides wafting their feathery appendages to catch tiny food in the current. #MarineLife #Crustmas #Inverts #UnderwaterPhotography

  Today’s #Nudibranch is an undescribed Tenellia from the United Arab Emirates. We always used to find these on a very specific hydroid that was only found on a couple of dive sites. #SeaSlugs #MarineLife #Inverts #UnderwaterPhotography

  
  

  Ryan Howard @abyssalaquanaut.bsky.social

  This is a pale toadfish, Ambophthalmos angustus. You might have seen pictures of a deep sea blob fish that was popular a few years ago on the internet. That species, and this fish, are both part of the Psychrolutidae family. #MarineLife 🧪

  Argonauts (or Paper Nautili) are actually pelagic octopuses whose females secrete these gorgeous egg cases. Those from a number of Argo species are shown. 🐙 #cephalopods #octopus #marinebiology #mollusks #marinelife

  The Conversation U.S. @us.theconversation.com

  Octopuses and #cuttlefish display intelligence rivaling some vertebrates, raising questions about animal consciousness. New research by a comparative psychologist sheds light: https://buff.ly/3VSGJU5 (Rachel Blaser, University of San Diego) 🧪 🐙 🦑 #cephalopods #squid #octopus #marinebiology

  So today’s #Nudibranch is Ardeadoris averni from the Philippines. This is a photogenic little slug and its bright contrast between the orange and the white always makes it stand out. #SeaSlug #MarineLife #Inverts #UnderwaterPhotography
