It was a beautiful sunny day for a dive in late October, but the critters were mostly in hiding. I did find a small short bigeye early in the dive, so I spent some time working on some different images.

This painting shows four narrow silver razorfish hanging vertically, heads down, a yellow seahorse anchoring with his tail to a blade of tape seagrass, and two bendy inquisitive pipefish. The seahorse & pipefish are eyeing each other with curiosity. On the seabed we see spoon and fern seagrass, a seaweed, the glossy shell of a marine snail, a small red nudibranch and a large knobbly red seastar. The text reads: "This is Wei Wei, the yellow spotted seahorse. He lives in this seagrass meadow with his friends."

Invertebrates (Marine Animals by Panini), Part 3

This time we’ll be seeing all of the ‘invertebrates’ made in the Panini mini series. This is probably the most taxonomically broad one, and also the largest group. They’d also be among the more difficult ones to identify to species, but sometimes guesses can be made. On the upside, the small size makes them appropriate for dioramas and accessories with conventional figures. As long as the […]

Poseidon as depicted in Hades 2 - an extremely enthusiastic buff man with flowing green hair like the sea, holding a trident.

"Sickos" has been crudely edited across his torso, and a speech bubble reads "YES ... HA HA HA ... YES!" in the style of the sickos meme.

"To raise sunflower stars in captivity and release them to the Pacific, however, scientists must first learn how to keep stars from dying. And for that, they must know what’s killing them in the first place."

OMG it's finally happened! Researchers at #UW have determined the cause of sea star wasting disease. This epidemic has been ravaging sunflower seastar populations for over a decade. Until now, it was hypothesized to be caused by a virus. They discovered that it is actually caused by the bacterium Vibrio pectenicida.

As someone who has been following the latest research on this topic since the outbreak, I am beyond thrilled that they have discovered the pathogen behind this.
