This guy is the winner in my book just because I find the spiral shaped tree thing on his back so interesting. Not the brightest guy but it tries its best! The rest are my other favorites stolen from this mega slug dump: https://imgur.com/gallery/BXSq1 Edit: so Imgur keeps crashing any time I click on a comment to reply but I’ve been informed this little guy is a slug and a separate cool little creature, possibly photoshopped together, that looks like a tree. These are known as “Christmas Tree Worms” or polychaete worms.

I swear, sometimes we see things that are SO crazy, we have no choice but to believe that Mother Nature got bored, took some LSD, and made some whacked-out stuff. The green leafy thing with the face of a cow made me laugh until I wet myself!

#1 not a slug, someone just shopped a land slug in lol

#1 is a photoshopped land slug, the spiral thing is a Spirobranchus sp, a polychaete worm that forms a buurrow in rocks and coral skeletons.

You are correct! Thanks. Updated the post.

so in #1 the spiral thing is actually next to him, not on him. I don't know the real name of those things, we tend to call them christmas trees when diving...but they're super cool in that they disappear in a flash when threatened - just by swimming over them and your shadow will make it happen. If you remember in Avatar (blue marines, not blue arrow head monks) there were the plants like that, I think those were the inspiration.

Thanks! Updated the name of these worms in the post.

Theyre a species of feather duster which is a filter feeding worm. This species is only found living in colonies of porites coral which is a small polyp stony coral. Ive kept them and grown them theyre a really really cool. Care needs to be taken as if the coral is t doing well then the worms will suffer as well.

What are those hair thingys for? defence or for filterfeeding or something else?
flyingnetherlander
I’m pretty sure most of them are for feeding but I wouldn’t be surprised if a few species don’t have some sort of defense built into them.

#1 This one is shopped.

oh okay.. that one made no sense at all, too bad though!
RoutemasterFlash
Yeah, I mean for a start it just looks like a common garden slug with a fancy blue spiral attached to it.

It looks like a Christmas tree worm shopped on to a garden slug
flyingnetherlander
That’s exactly what it is apparently.
