You don't have to go far to find alien life... Just look in our oceans 🪼 Enjoy these out-of-this-world, adult lobate comb jellies (Mnemiopsis leidyi) on #CtenophoreCtuesday!

The tide is not the only thing the moon schedules. Reef reproduction runs on the same clock — corals to the week, groupers to the full moon, palolo worms to the night.
Sponge, lovely orange coral, Paragorgia, more orange coral, i think the white is Bamboo & Primnoid, Parantipathes

Coral skeleton, Brisingid, Anthomastus, Sponge, Coral (Primnoid?), yellow Coral w/ this little clear critter. It reminds me of those Phaeodarian with the little hands but idk if that's what that is.

Well darn the slurp broke. I'm sure some duct tape can fix it. If you can't duct it fuct it!

Found a nice coral garden on this rocky outcrop. Watch lead says corals Hemicorallium. Lots of associates. Urchins, Ophiuroids, Crinoids, etc...

They're in Chaunacops territory. It went under a rock before they cool zoom but my guess is they'll see more.

Maybe Apolemia & little silver fish behind it

Sunsets in Maui are a lot like my lovely wife's art. Each one is different, yet they are all amazing.
