A teeny tiny baby Smooth Toadfish in a mussel shell, which was pretty much the only way I could successfully photograph them due to S M O L.

🪸3 days after spawning, these tiny Galaxea larvae are on a mission: to find the perfect place to settle and begin their life as coral polyps. Off they go!✨

"Death of the Ocean" 🪸

I was thinking recently what a reaper for the coral and fish would look like. Each coral is not one soul, but thousands.

The ocean is a carbon toilet. Marine heat waves are clogging it.

Tiny poops are supposed to sink to the seafloor, locking away carbon. But scientists have found that warm spells are disrupting that flushing.

Lipid nanoparticles are absorbed by the anemone Exaiptasia diaphana and stimulate lipid metabolism, including beta-oxidation and the TCA cycle.

Respectfully submitted for your approval for #fishyfriday the Bonnethead Shark. Bonnetheads are one of my favorite sharks and from my own experiences observing them, they are very placid and “Disney Cute” 😃 More in alt text #fish #sciart #artshare #artyear #blueskyart #marinebiology
Bonnetheads (Sphyrna tiburo) are light gray upper skin color and very white underneath. They are prominent shark in SWFL and the Keys. They are very shy and small and are the first known Omnivores in the Shark family. They are essential to maintaining our Sea Grass Beds. Their diet is mainly Crustaceans, very small fish and some of the Sea Grass for essential nutrients, “mom said eat something green every day”😝😜 I always find a group of them when I Reef Snorkel in the Sea Grass Beds, and I am always safe because that means other larger predators are not around. Their vision is way better than mine👍🤩😃
