People who see pics of like those fucked up deep sea fish and creatures and go "omg I'm never going swimming in the ocean again 😰😰😰" calm down. They're 5000 feet below where you are and also i went down there and none of them even knew you. Leave them alone bitch

Though this may look like a space monster from a budget sci fi film, it is in fact today’s sea slug - yes really!! Melibe leonina, commonly known as the lion nudibranch, is a predatory nudibranch that swallows its prey whole.

Today’s sea slug is Phylliroe bucephala - a parasitic, pelagic (free swimming), glowing sea slug that at first glance has a lot more in common with a fish than with most sea slugs…..
