Glaucus, atlanticus


Here is a delightful little critter I came upon on the beach this morning near the Moona Moona

Having looked it up at the Australian Museum online (great site by the way) I found this and have decided this is it.

Order: NUDIBRANCHIA
Suborder: AEOLIDINA
Family: Glaucidae

these things actually feed on Bluebottles!

Glaucus, atlanticus

Name that Fish (if it is a fish)

This is a skull from our "collection" of cool things we have found. We found it on Collingwood beach near our home in Vincentia NSW
