Disco Doris 🪩 #seaslug crawling amongst the rainbow wrack #seaweed Before this spring I’d never found a disco Doris nudibranch, now I’ve seen them on >10 occasions. This slug was happily crawling over the seaweed in a shallow #rockpool. #nudibranchs #marinelife #cornwallcoast #springwatch

Spring sea slugs - so many around at the moment. The once rare rainbow #seaslugs are becoming quite common, more Polycera around than I’ve seen before, my second ever disco Doris. Here’s some recent clips - a teaser before something bigger out next week… #cornwallcoast #seaslugs #underwatermacro

The rare & beautiful violet sea snail - a predator of Portuguese Man O’War & by-the-wind sailors. It lives its whole life at the surface of the open ocean, using a bubble raft to stay afloat. It’s normally more common in warmer waters but occasionally seen here #marinebiology #marinelife #oceanlife

A mauve stinger #jellyfish in front of an avenue of yellow #seaweed. This from last autumn when we had huge blooms of these jellyfish - by contrast I’ve not seen a single one this year. #CornishWildlife #MarineLife #UnderwaterPhotography

Cuttlefish changing colour over the sand - this is the same #cuttlefish but the sequence of photos shows how it can change its colour and texture for both camouflage and communication. #marinelife #underwaterphotography #marinebiology

Blue-rayed limpets just beneath the surface. They often gather in groups this time of year on the lower kelp to weather autumn storms. #shotoniphone #uknature #underwaterphoto #marinelife #marinebiology

About a year ago we had huge blooms of these beautiful (but painful) mauve stinger #jellyfish around the #Cornwall coast. On one day strong onshore winds washed them into the lower #rockpools. #marinelife #ukunderwater #underwaterphotography #marinebiology

Two tiny #seaslugs from Anilao in the Philippines: Favorinus tsuruganus, which feeds on the eggs of other sea slugs, and a Shaun the sheep nudibranch. Amazing how tiny these creatures are, barely visible to a naked eye. #marinelife #nudibranchs #underwatermacro #underwaterphotographer #marinebiology

Have you ever seen an #octopus clean and then use the toilet? This individual was outside its den so I set a #gopro to record its behaviour. From Patmos, #Greece. Plenty more film and photos to follow if the trip. #marinebiology #marinelife #underwaterfilming #wildlife
