Happy Nudibranch Nursday!! :3

Today’s Nudibranch species is the Triopha catalinae, aka the sea clown! I don’t know why they named him that, taxonomists are so mean

prev

made me wanna go look for clown mugs for a second but i think the last time i did that the things i found were mostly disappointingly bland until i found a mug with erotic art of ms. frizzle having gay sex w uh. i thought it was someones clowngirl oc at first but i later learned it was that clown from that kids show the big blue comfy couch, or something? which was fine just. you know. unexpected erotica can be alarming when it gives you no sort of warning and is showing up completely uncensored in the etsy listing. bold move if im honest

#toy txt post #ns//fw text #i mentioned it to a friend at work and she was like omg post it in the group chat and i was like. i dont think you understand it is #straight up pornography on a mug. there are certain group chats ill post that in. the group chat of Coworkers aint one of em #i did send her a screenshot tho and she was like OH I SEE NOW #anyway that was wild. good for that person ig. maybe consider a censored version for the pic that shows up in the etsy listing and then #make the uncensored smth you scroll to see after clicking on it? #idk tbqh it was Awhile ago. i had to be searching for smth else. theres no way the clown mug selection is that thin? right? like theres #gotta be clown mugs?? #same energy as me searching for nudibranch designs on redbubble and finding very suggestive nude art #of someones nudibranchsona #like oh wow. good for you. didnt expect to see this in the wild without searching more specifically but uh ok! #fr tho i do love when ppl have like. weird animal fursonas that arent like the. you know. #theres a lot of felids and canids and maybe some dragons. i love a weird bird furry or fish furry<-guy who has a birdsona voice #guy who has a birdsona and wants to make another birdsona and or perhaps a fishsona voice

[nudibranchpropaganda]

followed you because when you reblogged my bad communication post i loved your url !! do u have any nudibranch propaganda to share?

Hell yea i do!! This got a little long :)

These funky little dudes have the coolest morphology, something theyre well known for. They can be pretty tiny (0.4 cm) or surprisingly large (60 cm) and generally live in the tropics, though there are certainly a wide variety that live in cooler ocean water as well. Some of the more well known species are very eye catching, like the Jorunna Parva (Bunny slug) or Glaucus Atlanticus

Some of them look like funky leaves and some of them look like slugs we see on the surface too! (Did you know licking banana slugs that you find on land makes your tongue go numb? 10/10 not recommended but i was a dumb kid)

They also come in a goth or clown variant for those that are looking to fit a certain aesthetic :)

Theres two kinds of nudibranchs. Dorids, which breathe from a central plume of gills above their ass, and Aeolids, which breathe from a collection of spiky protrusions called cerata. There are a couple more distinguishing features relating to their digestive tracts and mantles (or lack thereof), but this is the easiest way to tell them apart in my opinion!

Theyre also carnivorous! These guys will eat a wide variety of stuff, including sponges, coral, barnacles, anemones, and even other nudibranchs and their eggs.

There are a couple species that have some pretty cool diets, like the Glaucus Atlantica, which preys on the portugese man of war and other siphonophores. It can eat the man of war whole if theyre small enough, but will also just eat the tentacles if theyre too big. Glaucus will then push the stinging nematocysts (the bits that hurt) from its insides to its outsides and use them as self defence!

There are also sea slugs, like the Costasiella Kuroshimae (technically not a nudibranch yada yada yada) that eat algae they then use to photosynthesize!

These funky little creatures are also hermaphroditic! Like a lot of animals, they use mating dances to attract a partner. Thats not whats cool about their reproduction though. When the time comes to lay their eggs, they do so in the coolest ribbon-like structures.

Mostly though, i just love how different all these little guys are. Personally, my fav nudi is from the ocean near where i live!

Anyways, that was rlly long. thanks if u ended up reading and defs look into these little weirdos on ur own!! (references? idk her :P but actually i dont remember where i learned most of this, though some supplemental info and pics w out credits from wikipedia!)

hey-- i read your bio. what's ur fav sea slug??? (very important)

:)

yfjtjtyxhfut thank you so much for asking asking omg thats such a hard question

I’d say either sea angels because they are absolutely gorgeous and they remind me of will o’ the wisps or Ceratosoma amoenum aka the clown nudibranch because of the silly name and also because their coloration makes them look so happy :]

enclosed are some photos I found of both for your viewing pleasure because I feel like I’ve just opened my wallet to show you pictures of my grandkids

Howl Bazaar the Sea Slug Clown!

Wanted to get some more images up of Howl for Clown Month! I can actually walk on a ball and juggle knives, but I've not yet got the coordination to do both things at once. But I'll keep practicing!

I hope to get some inking and coloring on this to show off his nudibranch themed colorations and just how loud those clothes are.
