Does anyone know what these are?

Someone wanted me to identify them but I personally have no clue what they could be. They were found clinging under someone’s boat and they wanted to know what they could be. They are jelly like and transparent. (NJ, USA)

Marine hatchetfish are creatures of the deep. They have rows of light-producing organs along their bellies which shine a pale blue — matching the light from above and making hatchetfish invisible to predators below. This fish's name comes from its body shape, which resembles the head of a hatchet.

Lacklustre big jellyboy found off PNW coast

There were a few of them. Lethargic and about the size of a car tire...

Wondering what species! Fried Egg or another species?

Creature ID

I hauled my boat today in Halifax, NS, Canada, so I could inspect and clean the hull before heading south for the winter. There was a ton of these little scorpion creatures! I’ve never seen them before, does anyone know what they are?

More active sand dollars 💜

Since you guys enjoyed my clip last night of that live sand dollar moving, here’s a little compilation of a few more active ones from the last couple days out at the negative tides in Pismo. I’ve really loved sharing my finds with you all recently! I’m new to the group. While the low Pismo tides are fun, I have more fun exploring the local tide pools. Unfortunately they’re not having any negative tides right now but when they do I’ll be back with some starfish and other tide pool finds ❤️

Cont from my post yesterday about the unknown creature in PB… kinda nsfw?? 😅😅😅

Thanks for all the help yesterday in identifying the Pismo Clams under the sand with their siphons exposed. I learned a lot! I went back the next day during the negative tide and I got a much clearer picture of what was happening. I feel weird having this on my phone and even weirder posting it here 😅😅 but it was too cool not to share! Thanks again for all the information ❤️

Japan is trying to extradite whale warrior Paul Watson for the crime of (checks notes) being against whale murder. If they succeed, it's a blow against conservationists, animal rights, and protestors everywhere. You can help, though.

Here's a great and hilarious video that explains the situation much better than I can:

Here's a link to the petition to increase public pressure on Denmark to release him: https://www.paulwatsonfoundation.org/freepaulwatson/

Don't let me down, fellow ocean nerds!
