A miniature print of the tiny, fearsome sea slug Glaucus atlanticus, or the Blue angel nudibranch or Blue dragon.

The Glaucus atlanticus itself is no longer than 1.2" or 3 cm, but it floats upside down on the surface of pelagic waters hunting venomous siphonophores like the Portuguese man o' war & then uses their stinging nematocysts for its own protection. These wee beauties are some hardcore little sea slugs.

This shiny thing is known as " Janolus sp." nudibranch a genus of the Protonotidae family of sea slugs. Distinguishing feature brightly coloured stubby cerata (a horn like anatomical structure) , covering their bodies, their main predator is Navanax, a species of sea slug while technically not a nudibranch, when attacked the Janolus rolls itself into a hedgehog like ball & expose their cerata for protection. Found in Europe, Japan etc.

The fun thing about is discovering a whole new world.
I think this is some kind of . Isn't it ? I'm fascinated by these animals, have a whole collection of photos of various of them. The blue colour is like velvet, looks a lot darker if you direct the light differently. The "arms" or "legs" sticking out of the center make it look almost like a toy. Sometimes you find a group of 2 or 3 together.

I also found some fantastic nudibranchs (sea slugs) including a shaggy mouse nudibranchs next to frilly eggs they had recently laid.

Sea lemons are often found in the rocks, but this individual was on the move out in the sand. They are interesting photography subjects due to their relatively large size (usually a couple inches in length) and bumpy texture.

New on the Animal Toy Blog, five sea slugs by Rainbow. It's a bit of a stretch to call these toys as they're chopstick rests!

This picture of two Flabellina verrucosa was taken in the Piscataqua River in Portsmouth, NH. At this dive site, the pink hydroids are very large and numerous, so it serves as a nudibranch buffet. The Flabellina verrucosa gather in large clusters to mate and chow down. These two happened to choose the same hydroid, resulting in a Lady and the Tramp moment...but with sea slugs and a stinging flower.
