@pounceandslither: Returned some nudibranchs to the ocean today 🐉💙 these little dragons of the sea are called Glaucus atlanticus or the blue dragon 🌊 please don’t attempt to handle these little guys as they eat venomous creatures such as blue bottles and store their nematocyst (stinging cells) inside. Meaning they can sting us. I’m a long time fan of these particular sea slugs and have only been blessed to see them once before today 🐉💙 #nudibranch #wildlife #marinebiology #ocean #nature
Yes, I was about to say, that they are venomous. So I had a little breathless moment when you picked them up...😳😬

Nudibranches are so cool! Slugs were my fave as a kid and I didnt know they existed until recently. Imagine learning your fave animal has hundreds of different colorful variarions in the sea 😍 and theyre all so beautiful and unique
