Today is Wet Beast Wednesday!

Today’s wet beast is: Man-of-war Fish

Olive’s wet beast fact: this little fishy has evolved to live within the extremely dangerous tentacles of the Portuguese Man O’ War. It is here that the fish feasts upon their gonads. Happy Pride.

Stay tuned for more Wet Beast Wednesdays!

i was obsessed with @zus-a-fungi 's man o' war eclipse design and wanted to draw them so beep let's go [id in alt and under the cut]

Edit: added ids since i forgot to first time around! wouldn't usually separate the id from the image but i'm making an exception this time around.

[id: a colored illustration of an AU design of Eclipse from FNAF, drawn as a man-o-war mer.

Eclipse has four arms, "rays" made of many man o war polyps which also extend from his back like wings, a large sail bladder behind him, an open chest that holds a glowing yellow orb, a bell that acts like a skirt, and his tail is made of long, flowing pink, purple and blue tentacles, surrounded by smaller pink tentacles and delicate white strands made of hearts. Fluffy pink growths surround each of his wrists and have small pink and white heart shaped flyaways. He has dark blue bands on his upper arms and forearms, and his palms are a light purple and his fingerpads are an even lighter purple. His belly and half of his face has the same light purple markings. his cheeks are both shades of dark purple. eclipse has white eyes and large tusks on his lower jaw, with a pink mouth and tongue.

His chest is open, displaying a hollow cavity that holds a small orb. Light blue teeth like ribs extend from either side of the cavity, and the inner flesh is a deep mauve color. it splits directly down the middle of his torso, and the skin is folded under the teeth where it opens.

He's posed like he's leaning back, with three of his arms extended like he's presenting something. two of his palms are face up, with one cupped and the last arm and hand facing his face. Eclipse has a large, open mouthed smile and bright eyed expression. His long jellyfish tail extends under and way far behind him, fading into the dark purple background. End id.]

They always say that the Portugese Man'O'War is a colony of different animals, including the reproductive parts

How the fuck does that work?

okay to make a long and complicated thing shorter, stupid, and marginally less complicated:

Colonial organisms, like the man o' war, all sorta occur when one organism, produced via sexual reproduction, asexually reproduces itself into a ton of clones. These clones, zooids, are hypothetically "free-living", and could do the same thing as the original. Eventually, though, they specialize into different roles, changing their form and function to suit different roles in the body of the man o' war. Some of them produce carbon monoxide, which is like, a tenth of what fills the float (or pneumatophore, if you want to impress someone on a date sometime) on top of the organism, some allow it to reproduce, some can feed, and some are just Toxin Cells For Killing And Hurting. Anyways, it basically looks like one animal, but is technically a billion trillion [citation needed] tiny versions of the same zooid printing copies of itself.

TLDR: portuguese man o' war is kinda like osmosis jones, i think.

The Sea Creature of the Day is the Portuguese Man o' War!!!

aaaaaa!!! 🥰🥰🥰 i love these guys. researching them was what lead to my long lasting obsession with siphonophores after i saw one on a vacation as a child.

there's something oddly beautiful to me about their method of gathering food. just floating there with these incredibly painful danger noodles hanging below. and it's a siphonophore so it's like... an apartment building of people that's also one creature all peacefully waiting for the currents to take them to food. it's beautiful and so so so cool and i love them 🥰🥰🥰🥰
