Trick or treat :3

You got a trick! I'm assigning you with an animal you remind me of

Jorunna parva, commonly known as the sea bunny, is a species of dorid nudibranch, a shell-less marine gastropod mollusc in the family Discodorididae. The species was first described by Kikutaro Baba. Its resemblance to a rabbit facilitated a surge in popularity on Twitter throughout Japan in 2015.

Fun facts!

- Sea bunnies usually only grow to be a few centimeters big, 2.5 cm.

- The fur-like rods on their body are sensory tubercle called caryophyllidia. And the ear/antenna-like protuberances called rhinophores help to detect chemicals in the water.

Macro Monday: Nudibranch - Halgerda Batangas

Nudibranchs are one of my favorite creatures underwater. This is a Halgerda batangas. #nudibranch #sea #slug #wildlife #nature #macro #monday

Nudibranchs are one my favorite creatures to shoot underwater. I find their shape, size and color patterns quite unique. There are over 3,000 species of Nudibranchs. The Halgerda batangas is a species of sea slug, a dorid nudibranch, a shell-less marine gastropod mollusk in the family Discodorididae. This image was captured in the Philippines with a Sealife DC2000 underwater camera.

Orange Jorunna Parva by cherylgoh This is a Jorunna parva, a species of sea slug, a dorid nudibranch, a shell-less marine gastropod mollusc in the family Discodorididae. The resemblance of Jorunna parva's rhinophores to bunny ears and its other features facilitated a surge in popularity on Twitter throughout Japan in 2015. They look furry but what you are looking at is not fur. They are groups of small rods known as caryophyllidia, which cover its back. They’re arranged around small black knobs that give it a spotted look. Most experts believe these organs play sensory roles. Predators stay away from these cute little slugs because they are incredibly toxic. The sea bunny slug belongs to a group of sea slugs called dorid nudibranchs, which steal toxic defenses from its food. Sea bunny slugs will often eat sponges, which contain toxins; some of these toxins are used in cancer treatments. Sea slugs also have the ability to steal the stingers out of jellyfish and use them against predators.
