The Dana octopus squid celebrates the festival of lights with specialized light cells called photophores on the tip of its arms. Despite being a squid (not an octopus), this guy has eight arms and is ready for all eight nights of Hanukkah!

Chag sameach to you and your family!

Please note: only two of the squid's arms contain photophores, not all eight unfortunately.

Did you know that Feather Starfish can regenerate their arms if they lose them? They can also detach their arms voluntarily to escape predators. Some feather starfish even host symbiotic animals like shrimps and crabs. They are amazing creatures that can swim, feed, and breathe with their arms.

Feather starfish are fascinating marine animals that belong to the class Crinoidea, which also includes sea lilies. They are not actually starfish, but they are related to them as they are both echinoderms. Feather starfish have a central body with many arms that are used for swimming, feeding, and respiration. They are usually found in tropical and subtropical waters, where they attach themselves to rocks, corals, or other surfaces. Feather starfish are also known as crinoids or comatulids.

Feather starfish are one of the oldest & most primitive species on earth. Their origins date back to the Ordovician Period, which began more than 488 million years ago. They can have as many as 200 arms, which branch numerous times and result in feathery pinnules. These arms can be of various colors, such as green, red or yellow. They can regenerate their arms if they lose them due to injury or predation. They can also detach their arms voluntarily to escape predators or to reproduce asexually.

Feather starfish host symbiotic animals like shrimps and crabs, which live among their arms and provide protection and cleaning services. Some feather starfish even have specialized structures called cirri that act as claws to hold their symbionts. They feed on planktonic particles that they capture with their tube feet and mucus on their arms. They then move the food along their arms to their mouth, which is located on the upper side of their body.

Feather starfish are amazing creatures that add beauty and diversity to the coral reefs. They are also important indicators of the health of the marine ecosystem, as they are sensitive to environmental changes. I hope you enjoyed reading about this wonderful & beautiful creature. 😊🙏

It's not easy being green. But it gets a little easier on St. Patrick's Day. These critters don’t need luck when they have charm, especially the green crab, who takes pinching to a whole new level. 🍀

The struggle fish. For the fullness of the struggle, join my patreon, but you can just check him out here too.

Sebastes paucispinis aka Bocaccio And some phallic sponges and anemones.

That's 3 complete! About 53 more to go. Also yo, if he looks extra texturey.... This guy's using glaze! I still need to download Nightshade. I think that one's the bigger game changer. But it begins, especially here as Tumblr has continued to just make poor decisions.
