terrible-tentacle-theatre:nooby-banana:ironychan:ilymorgannn:I’m terrified of the ocean but I love what inhabits itI don’t know what this thing is but it can probably kill you in at least six horrible ways.It’s a Spanish Dancer!! :D It’s a type of sea slug that eats poisonous animals for breakfast and then absorbs their toxic power for itself. Their badass menu includes sea sponges and Portugese Man-O-Wars.That is most definitely not a Spanish Dancer.This is a Spanish Dancer:What OP posted is actually a flatworm. Yes, the same phylum that has fuckkers who like to hang out in human intestines.That is called a Hancock’s flatworm (Pseudobiceros hancockanus) and it’s indeed toxic as hell, which is exactly why it’s so colorful. They are all hermaphrodites and before each mating they engage in a duel where they try to stab each other with their pointy twin dongers to decide who’s going to give the sperm to who. It’s called penis fencing, and yes, scientists call it that too.EN GARDE DICKHEAD -- source link
