Maluku Muck Nudibranch, et al.

A series of high resolution vignettes where we get to meet the actors in a great play of the chorus of life in Maluku Muck, Indonesia. Many fantastical creatures like harlequin shrimp and the mantis shrimp, who is not going to slaughter us today. Multiple nudibranch species, all of which make us wonder how these delicate and clumsy creatures could possibly survive. Watch this one in HD on a desktop for sure. And wait till you get to the pipefish.

When you’re done, let’s not forget to be concerned about a house for hermit crab.

Hermissenda crassicornis

This post is the first serious start of a new blog where I try to share the best of Creative-Commons-licensed videos about sea life. This is a Hermissenda crassicornis. What’s nice about this video is we can see the nudibranch up close. Nudbiranch science fact: these eat Hydroids
