🌊Latin name: Glaucus atlanticus
🌊Common name: Blue sea dragon, Sea swallow, Blue angel, Dragon slug
🌊Family: Glaucidae
Probably the most well known sea slug on the internet, famous for its interesting appearance and many videos of people handling it.
🌐Found throughout the Atlantic, Pacific, and Indian Oceans in tropical and subtropical waters. They appear mostly on the surface, floating on its back - an air bubble in its stomach helping it maintain buoyancy. That does mean they can accidentaly wash up on beaches, hence many videos of people handling it.
💫 Fun fact: A group of blue glaucuses floating together is called a “blue fleet.”
🖍Their coloration is an example of countershading - its bright blue underside helps the blue glaucus blend into the water’s surface while its grayish backside helps it blend into the ocean when spotted from below, camouflaging it from both flying and swimming predators while floating in open water.
🍽 This silly guy is a predator. It hunts larger marine organisms, e.g. plant Physalia physalis, the polyp Porpita porpita or the snail Janthina janthina. Occasionally, some individuals may resort to c-nnib-lism.
⚠️As mentioned before, these nudibranches feed on what is called Portuguese Man-O’-war (Physalia physalis) - venomous prey - which also makes them venomous. This venom is stored in the ceratas (refer to picture above; dark blue finger like ceratas), the more Physalia it eats -> the more concentrated the venom will be.
And for those interested in more of this silly slug:

Finally got to draw my versions of the Red Demon and Blue Angel from Cuphead in a style that's somewhat like the show! For simplicity's sake I call them Satan and Lucifer (Luci for short).
