Plerogyra sinuosa or Bubble Coral 

Appropriately named, the bubble coral is covered in bubble-like polyps that are filled with water; these can develop in different colors and shapes. The polyps also contain zooxanthellae, causing the bubbles to expand during the day and retract at night. 

My dad sent me this to post because I told him this account was doing well so please humour him and tell him its really funny

In the past 6 months or so I’ve developed a very intense and rewarding hyperfixation on stingrays so here are some pretty decorated babies!

!! SEA SLUG APPRECIATION POST !!

( PLUS FUN FACTS !! )

because sea slugs are absolutely beautiful

fun fact 1 - some sea slugs eat prey that is poisonous! but instead of it killing them, they store up the poison and release it against other predators

fun fact 2 - similarly to land snails, some sea slugs can have both male and female sexual organs and can have both at the same time

fun fact 3 - some sea slugs can be as small as sand particles or as big as 12 inches in length

fun fact 4 - (this one is a bit more obvious but) sea slugs belong to the same class of animals as land slugs

fun fact 5 - as pretty as they are , most sea slugs should not be handled by humans. as a lot are toxic ! do not handle a colorful sea slug unless you 100% know what you are doing!

fun fact 6 - sea slugs do have eyes but they arent good at seeing things at all.. they mostly can only sense light and darkness

((ooh moving onto gifs))

fun fact 7 - the slug shown above is a sea bunny !!! and its obviously named that because if how it looks like a bunny rabbit !!

fun fact 8 - slugs are cool and really pretty !!! and you are cool too :)
