Hello all here we are at Tuesday so it is extreme creature day and today's creature is the Blue Sea Slug heard of it, I hadn't.
Anyway this vibrant blue sea slug grows to about 4cm long about the length of some thumbs just not mine.
It eats bluebottles whose stingers it stores the stingers in the tips of its feathery “fingers” and uses them for its own protection.
The Blue Sea Slug actually floats on its back, it fills up a sac in its stomach with gas to help it float.
Never head of this creature Jo-Anne, but how interesting.
ReplyDeleteIt is a lovely blue, but anything with the name "slug" loses its attractiveness for me.

A striking coloration! No--never heard of it. Using another creatures stingers--now that's brilliant. :)
