Incredible sea slugs — Wildlife Vision Super colourful, often extremely small, sea slugs are a perfect subject for underwater photography and macro. We have a surprisingly large number of them in Cornwall, not just found when diving but al...

These nudibranchs aren't just pretty—they’re fierce. Some actually eat anemones and "steal" their stinging cells for their own defence! 🛡️🧪

There are over 100 species of #seaslug around the UK, many incredibly beautiful, some common, some rare or new arrivals 🌈🌊

I’ve spent a decade documenting the underwater world of #Cornwall and finding rare or new species has been a highlight

One of the many Polycera #seaslugs that have been around lately. This one crawling around on some of the bright red harpoon seaweed.

Mine too!

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…

Thanks!

You’re thinking of Portuguese Man O’War and blue bottles? The by the wind sailors we get here are completely harmless. You can hold them on your hand and feel nothing at all

Not to humans but possibly to small animals. The by the wind sailors are harmless to us

Amazing isn’t it!

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

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.

Very fortunate to find another rainbow #seaslug the other day. This was the smallest I’ve seen - about the size of a grain of rice (next to my fingertip for scale).

Sea fog around the #Cornwall coast this morning at sunrise. Another stunning start to the day!

Definitely true!

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.
