The California Blind Goby (Typhologobius californiensis) lives with Tidepool Ghost Shrimp, (specifically Neotrypaea biffari) in their sandy burrows. The goby is endemic to the tidepools of Central and Southern CA as well as the Mexican Pacific shoreline.
POWER PUNCH: The peacock mantis shrimp might be small, but it packs quite the punch! 🥊
These ocean animals are famous for the powerful blows they deliver to crack open the shell of the clams and crabs they hunt.

A fascinating new study published this week in @Nature confirms that deep-sea ecosystems across the global ocean are remarkably connected. The paper uncovers evolutionary links among brittle stars that stretch across entire ocean basins!

Each year we visit Andros Island in The Bahamas 🇧🇸 for week long shark research expeditions. During these trips we often visit a location called Isla’s spot 📍named after Annie and Tristans daughter, Isla. As you can imagine, this stunning location is easy to fall in love with, and always hard to leave! We see lemon sharks year round, in the winter we occasionally see blacknose and in the summer months we sometimes see nurse sharks! We’ve even seen nurse sharks mating in the shallows! Have you been to Isla’s spot?

🦈 Sharks don’t just rule the ocean with speed and strength—they also come equipped with an incredible hidden ability: an electrifying sixth sense.

“Zebra sharks (Stegostoma tigrinum) are graceful, slow-moving sharks found in the warm coastal waters of the Indo-Pacific.
They start life with bold zebra-like stripes, which fade into distinctive leopard-like spots as they mature. They are commonly called Leopard sharks in other parts of the world. Can you see why?”
#SharkWeek continues tonight at 8p on @Discovery

Is #WhalesharkWednesday a thing? It should be! 🦈
Did you know the spots/patterning on whalesharks is unique to the individual and researchers use their unique patterns (particularly around their gill area) to identify and name individuals! Swipe to see a gill shot of a whaleshark!

Going with the flow is a way of life for baby corals 🪸
As juveniles, corals drift until they find a good place to settle—even in the deep sea. Our researchers study ocean dynamics to understand how reefs are connected by invisible currents.🌀

As interest in Deep Sea Mining grows, scientists raise alarms about the potential ecological consequences, which could affect everything from sponges to whales.
The long-term impact of these extractions remains uncertain.
