My friend and very dear human, Jamie, lost their Dad unexpectedly this past week.. If you have the means, please consider helping them, no amount is too small. I would also ask that as you move through the world, please mask up and stay home when you are sick if you can.

A great evening nightlighting with @noncompliantcyborg.bsky.social ! We saw a school of squid fly by, then the seal chasing them (who you can see nabbing a snack in the first clip!). #squid #cephalopods

A new species for me spotted off the docks in Tacoma, WA: Micronereis nanaimoensis. This female had a BUNCH of males hooked into her back end to stimulate her to lay eggs😱It was SO cool to see! #wormwednesday

Found this cute little barnacle eating dorid with @jensseattle.bsky.social Saturday morning.

#nudibranch 🐙🦑
White and brown slug with relatively large tubercles all over its body, a fluffy gill plume, and perky rhinophores. It’s crawling on some barnacles.

What a Crab Sees Before It Gets Eaten by a Cuttlefish (Gift Article)
Cuttlefish use visual tricks to avoid being eaten. New research shows how they deploy similar camouflage to bamboozle their prey.
