Tentacritters

Fantastic shot of a diver with a smack of jellyfish around him. The diver reminds me of BioShock.

Tube anemone in Bali. Interestingly, a tube anemone isn’t really a sea anemone at all, but part of a different class of anthozoans (anemones and corals) called cerianthids. They have two rows of tentacles arranged in a spiral shape.

While spending time in Australia, I went to  Manly Beach to surf. I saw all these poor washed up blue bottle jellies, and felt kinda bad for them. That was, until I got stung. A wave had brought one up to my ankle. I suddenly felt a strange stinging sensation, so I looked down and saw a skinny, long, blue tentacle wrapped around my leg. Let’s just say I don’t feel as sorry for the little buggers now.
