The Smalltooth sand tiger is the perfect example of how appearances are deceiving. At first sight, a 4-foot-tall animal full of sharp teeth. The reality is that all they transmit is peace and a feeling of being in front of a prehistoric animal. @felipe_ravina

@DiseaseMatters @Disney It's ok, I fixed it in #midjourney requesting only fishes from the western Indo-Pacific...

You'd think they'd come up with a better name for this thing than "flatworm"

[Keishu Asada @CephWarden]

A beautifully photogenic pteropod (sea butterfly). Hard to wrap your head around the fact that this is technically a type of snail.

Beautiful day here at Lizard 🦎Island helping the #ReefSong team @aims_gov_au census patch reefs.

Great coral cover at amazing Shusha island field trip! @RSRC_KAUST @DavidJSuggett #redsea KRRI project!

Portrait mode. The face of the common (weedy) #seadragon, Phyllopteryx taeniolatus, doesn’t need any makeup as it has some spectacular natural patterns and coloration. Check out that hairstyle! No wonder it is a favorite species of the #greatsouthernreef

@DavidJSuggett @RSRC_KAUST @pedrohcp Stunning!!

[David J Suggett @DavidJSuggett]

Day 2 and Shushah Island really turning it on with glassy days @RSRC_KAUST @pedrohcp #KRRI logger retrieval and site orientations in the bag!

@CoralReefFish @FishGuyKai Crikey that's an ugly fish

[Hidden Below: The Great Lakes @HiddenBelowFilm]

Wait - aren't zebra mussel the big problem? Nope - it's #quagga mussels that are wreaking the most havoc in the #greatlakes these days. There are quadrillions (that's 15 zeros!) of quaggas down there, and they're changing how our lakes work.

#invasive #quaggamussels #freshwater

[Hidden Below: The Great Lakes @HiddenBelowFilm]

These #cisco are hungry! With declining native zooplankton in the #greatlakes (thanks mussels!) these #lakemichigan cisco have adapted to eat invasive zooplankton and small fish like these #alewives. Cisco were once almost totally gone from Lake MI -amazing to see them rebounding

Incredible dive to 4700m abyssal plain for @NHM_London @NHM_Science studying #biodiversity in #highseas #bbnj w @NOCnews. These data and samples are for all humankind. #smartexccz #NHMDeepSea @UNOceanDecade
