  • Fuch yeah! That is amazing!

    So many possibilities… Something frilly or sleak? Maybe neon/pearlescent? Spots, stripes? An Aeolid with a garnish of cerata, or a Dorid with a branchial plume? And don’t forget a pair of magnificent rhinophores and optional Emperor shrimp jockey!

    Holy shit I’m really excited for you! And I’m not the one making the costume or going to the party!

    In fact as an autistic person I’d just spend hours of fun making a costume, and then not go to the party… just wear it at home

    You’ll have to post your outfit when it’s done 😀





















  • [they] use the chloroplasts of the algae on which they feed, which they keep alive for hours to months after their ingestion…

    Sacoglossans have been known to survive for months living solely on the photosynthetic products of their acquired plastids

    Sacoglossans are able to choose which method of feeding they use. The switch from active feeding to photosynthesis in sacoglossans is triggered by the shortage of food resources, and typically not preferred

    starvation periods (with photosynthesis and no active feeding) vary between species of sacoglossans from less than a week to over four months, and photosynthesis is used as a last-resort mechanism to avoid mortality

    All from wikipedias page on sacoglassa…the whole process is fascinating and worthy of a post in itself, probably one for next week 👍
