miscellany

I'll pull these two out from the previous CW, as I don't think either is in any way affronting. If you want to see the two equivalent animals (another , and ) see the previous post.
Here's an amended description:
The first image is the beautiful radial skeleton of the Blue Button, or Porpita porpita, a colony organism (when alive), made up of cooperating hydroids. It drifts in the surface waters, using its stinging tentacles to capture small copepods, but will also hunt crabs and fish.
Next is a mollusc, which preys on the former, amongst other things.
It’s the beautiful violet sea snail, Janthina janthina, a free-floating snail that uses a raft of bubbles to keep it on the sea’s surface where it preys on hydrozoa. (Unlike the first, this was taken back home with my D700, not the iPhone3GS).
