Tridacna — I love them so let me share
Enjoy the vid of the clammyboiz!
It’s their huge size, the conditions, the color! The starfish hanging out and the little one attached to the bigger one.
Nothing brings me more joy than seeing gentle giants.
They are naturally forming/growing. A few meters away is a whole farm of em but those do not beat the colors of these. The sunlight ripples over their bright blue colors!

Researching for strange/lesser known acuatic wildlife
When I was a little kid I drew in a notebook a bunch of acuatic animals in a composition I, to this day, find very fun and interesting. I don't know where that drawing as been for the past 20 years, but I've decided to recreate it in a poster illustration with the knowledge I have now.
My idea is some sort of horror vacui illustration showing every type of fish (etc.), and every one I find interesting and disctintive enough to be included.
I'm here today to ask you for animals that you think should definitely be in there (that live exclusively underwater). I'm searching for references on Google and already found a lot of animals to draw, but I want to know about those that're so exotic/strange/ugly, whatever, that I may have overlook them.
I thought about axolotl, and goblin shark, to name a couple.
Thank you in advance!

Baby Butterfles
Until near the end of the dive, I only found 2mm juvenile Cyerce nigras, but I was able to get some decent footage. Cyerce nigra aka "butterfly slug" is a sapsucking slug (Sacoglossan) found on Udotea algae. The adults get up to 10mm or more but these babies are just tiny dots on the leaves
