@creaturecritic.bsky.socialTalk about a risky ride 😅 This tiny pelagic nudibranch was filmed on a blackwater dive, hanging onto the arm of a jellyfish as it drifted through the open ocean. #BlackwaterDiving #Nudibranch #MarineLife
@gugunderwater.bsky.socialI’ve seen it >100 times, but I’ve never been about to capture it until now.
Presumably, it is spawning (but I can’t be positive). But what is the green cloud, and what is the smaller blue squiggly???

@gugunderwater.bsky.socialToday while looking over my June 2025 Aliens photos for the first time, I found it funny that I’ve become so bougie that a fish so “rare” & beautiful has been relegated to “one shot and move on🥱” status after now having seen hundreds.
@gugunderwater.bsky.socialWhat a good mama!
A 1” #oxycephalus #amphipod is raising her brood on a drifting section of a Venus girdle #ctenophore.
Shot on scuba, off Okinawa, out over the deep abyss where its several thousand feet deep, while drifting with the plankton, at night
