sometimes I think about how red is the first color in the visible light spectrum to be absorbed in ocean water
Tumblr media
and how many deep-sea creatures evolved to be red as a stealth adaptation, making them near invisible when there’s little to no light present
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
and it makes me think. If there’s never any visible light present in these animals’ lifetimes, if no ROV shines a little flashlight in depths that would otherwise not have light, would these animals ever get the opportunity to actually be red? that might be a stupid question.
imagine being a little deep sea creature and having no idea you’re red until something comes along and shines a light on you except you still wouldn’t be able to tell because you’re probably colorblind. anyway. I don’t know where I was going with this post

“We also got a question wanting to know whether James has discovered something that’s not just new to him, but new to science. And it turns out he has! He found this ciliate a few months ago and couldn’t identify it, so he contacted some scientists working on this group of organisms. There are reports of similar species from the 1930s, but so far no description matches what he’s found. So James is working on trying to culture them and maybe do some genomic analysis, and hopefully he’ll get to write a paper and name the organism. If he gets to do that, we might even ask you all tho pitch some ideas!“

I got a surprise for Valentines Day! I hope I can keep it alive for a few years. I need to learn how to repot orchids.

The Chihiros WRGB II makes such an intense light in RL, but I need to adjust it a bit. It is is still a bit too red especially on pictures, even if the red swimming plant is too blame, too.
Also because I have hardly any green plants in this tank left.
The old RGB for comparison. A steady 3600K always looks nice. Will lean towards this more natural colours again, I thinkm

Fish and shrimp colours look amazing though.

Came across this fallen Chaffinch nest, fortunately fallen before any eggs laid it seems. Absolutely gorgeous nests
