who is your faborite ocean girl…

thank you for asking :D I love dorid nudibranchs they are the ideal shape for animal. they look like a cartoon mouse made of jelly but their "ears" are actually rhinophores, which are kinda like what they smell with! and their tail is actually their gills! also nudis are hermaphroditic in that they have both male and female reproductive organs at all times as adults instead of being able to switch between so they are literally all nonbinary.

(species shown: monterrey dorid, blood-spot dorid, nanaimo horned dorid, cockerell's dorid, pink dorid, spotted leopard dorid)

look how squishy they are :) I have 2 sea lemons and a spotted leopard in my lab that im currently taking care of so they are dear to me :)

technically sea bunnies are dorids but there are so many more and they are so cute.

also they lay squishy eggs in spirals attached to rocks which look SO COOL

New (to me!) Species

I recently observed a new-to-me species in the intertidal!

It's the barnacle eating dorid, scientific name Onchidoris bilamellata, a species of nudibranch that can gather in large groups to lay eggs.

On the left is a photo of some of the eggs and on the right is a photo of one of the groups of these slugs I found (also shout out to the Leptasterias sea star chilling next to them - we found a lot of sea stars under the same rocks as these nudibranchs).

I first noticed the eggs on a low tide earlier last week, and then on Friday I went tide pooling with some grad students from WSU for the -2.4' tide. As we scrabbled around the intertidal in the dark, we carefully turned over some rocks and found several different breeding groups like the one above. I thought it was interesting that almost every rock underside with these breeding groups of nudibranchs also had one or more Leptasterias sea stars. After observing and taking some quick pictures, we always made sure to gently place the rocks back how they'd started so the animals could stay moist and protected until the tide came in.
