Stomatopod alima larva. 4 mm, The Red Sea.
The kissing of sea slugs. Reminds me of Gustav Klimt paintings. Elysia viridis, commonly known as the solar-powered sea slug or sap-sucking slug, is uniquely distinguished by its rare ability to steal plant-like cellular machinery from the algae it eats and use it to perform photosynthesis.
Two tiny hydrozoan jellies talking to each other (Melicertum octocostatum, 5 mm). Kattegat, The North Sea.
What a surprise - a tiny, 1 mm long planktonic bunny 🐰. This a chaetopterus worm larva. Kattegat, The North Sea 🌊 🔬 Chaetopterus, known as the parchment worm, is a highly specialized marine polychaete living the adult life inside self-constructed, papery tubes that resemble parchment paper.
This pulsing orb is the advanced 1 mm larva of a sea angel ✨🌊🔬. Kattegat, The North Sea. Sea angels are my fav mollusks, and I’ve always been dreaming about seeing an advanced larva.
