Mermay Day 31 - Moon Jellyfish
The Moon jellyfish is easily identified by the four rings within its cap, and found in waters across the globe, drifting without a care in the world.
And that's it for mermay this year you beautiful people!
Mermay Day 29 - Mantis Shrimp~
These ancient little shrimp may be cute, but they can and will punch you with the force of a rifle
Mermay Day 28- Wolf Eel~
Voracious and powerful creatures, Wolf Eels are in fact a species of fish rather than a true eel. Their mighty jaws can easily crush the strong carapaces of crabs and shellfish.
Mermay Day 27 - Ribbon Eel!
Also known as the Leaf-nosed Moray or Bernis eel, these sinuous and beautiful eels like to twist their brightly-coloured bodies through crevices of coral, popping out to smile at passing divers.
Mermay Day 25 - Spotted Eagle Ray~
Second only in size to the mighty Mantas, these beautiful rays glide through warm waters the world over. However, their numbers are in decline, being both accidentally caught in fishing nets, and deliberately caught for display.
Mermay Day 21 – Nautilus
A very relaxed mollusc found around warm coral reefs, drifting from place to place using jet propulsion.
CRAB WEEK ENDETH
Mermay Day 20 - Vampire Crab~
A nocturnal little crab that scuttles onto the dry land of rainforest valleys at twilight, sinking their mandibles into most anything
CRAB WEEEEEEEK
Mermay Day 17 - Orangutan Crab~
A sweet little decorator crab covered in thick orange hair - which it will cover in small pieces of debris to keep itself camouflaged on the tropical coral.
CRAB WEEK CONTINUES
Mermay Day 16 - Horseshoe Crab!
Living fossils, these ancient arthropods like to scuttle around the intertidal zone of shallow waters. A stray breaker may flip them over - be kind and pick it up by the edge of the shell to set it right again.
CRAB WEEK CONTINUES
Mermay Day 15 - King Crab~
Evolved from millions of years of hermit-like contemplation and seclusion - a mighty King Crab struts proudly through the freezing ocean waters.
