The Venus girdle (Cestum veneris) is a comb jelly in the family Cestidae. The colorless species are transparent when suspended in water, except for their iridescent rows of comb plates. In other words, they majestic as fuck. Love to sea it 🌊

Do you think whenever a big ship sinks in the deep ocean all the specialist organisms that subsist on whalefalls are like “bro, what the fuck is this?”

Found a large white speckled sea hare at the beach, which had to be moved as it was stuck quite a long way from the sea.

Blood-belly comb jelly my beloved ❤️ 🩸

Meet Lampocteis cruentiventer, the bloodybelly comb jelly. This deep sea ctenophore was first collected in the Pacific Ocean off the coast of San Diego, California, in 1979.

Scientists believe the bloody-belly's red belly helps mask bioluminescent light from the prey it consumes. A predator with a glowing gut could easily become prey.

The genus name Lampocteis derives from the Greek roots for “brilliant comb,” referring to the bright iridescence diffracted from the animal’s comb rows.

Day 4 of @fish-daily's Fishuary: surgeon fish

According to hawaii.gov, they are called that because they "have sharp spines at the base of their tail or caudal fin, resembling a scalpel used by surgeons." I picked Kole because they are "a small but important fish for reefs. Also delicious."

Today on CHUNK! FUNK! GUNK! We rate

the SEA BUNNY:

10/10 Chunk

9.2/10 Funk

10/10 Gunk

For Easter, I thought it would be fitting to rate the sea bunny! These little guys are REALLY little, they’re less than an inch long- Since they’re nudibranchs, which by definition have no bones or shells, these squishy little fellas get maximum chunk. Sea bunnies are super recognizable and adorable with their little “ears” and “fur” (both are actually sensory organs), high funk. Nudibranchs are slimy little guys, and sea bunnies in specific are actually super slimy and poisonous, so of course they have maximum gunk.

Overall Rating: 10/10

They’re so cute, like- they’re SO cute- LOOK AT THEMMM!!!

Sorry for disappearing for a while again! Happy Easter (for those who celebrate) and happy pastel bunny day for all those who don’t!

I personally just enjoy Easter for all of the cute pastels and bunnies everywhere haha

Ctenophores have got to be one of the most under rated denizens of the Jersey Shore. Rainbows by day, glow sticks by night. Why is everyone not hyping the ctenophore?!
