GUNNEL, GUNNEL, GONE! Gunnel, Gunnel, Gone! By The Marine Detective on April 19, 2021 Meet the Penpoint Gunnel, another fabulous fish face and master of camouflage. The colour of Penpoint Gunnels varies as much as the colour of seaweed . . . from olive green, to golden brown to red. SLUGS THAT FLY? THE GREAT WINGED SEA SLUG. The Great Winged Sea Slug is a “bubble shell” sea slug (Cephalaspidea). They do NOT have naked gills and adults DO have an internal shell. There! Now don’t you feel better knowing that: (1) Not all sea slugs have naked gills and hence not all sea slugs areJACQUES AND JACKIE?
Jacques and Jackie? By The Marine Detective on April 9, 2021 I have reached the pinnacle of what I could have hoped for in my life. The apex! The summit! ☺️ . A finger puppet has been made of me AND it has been coupled with Jacques Cousteau. CAMOUFLAGE | THE MARINE DETECTIVE The males are tidy housekeepers, cleaning out the sand form their den. They are highly territorial and come out of their tidy homes to attract multiple females. After mating, the father fish will guard the eggs of the multiple females: ~1,600 to 27,000 eggs at a time for10 to30 days!.
GIANT PACIFIC OCTOPUSES In Giant Pacific Octopuses, a spermatophore can apparently be up to 1 meter long and contain over four billion sperm. Usually two spermatophores are involved in one copulation. Such large numbers of sperm, and eggs, are needed when your babies hatch into the soup of the ocean. But mother gives them a fighting chance. PYROSOMES! SAY WHAT? Pyrosomes! Say What?

Living Gems #1 – Candy-Stripe Shimp. By The Marine Detective on May 21, 2020 I went diving yesterday in an area where I knew there were Crimson Anemones. My hope was that if I took my magnifying glass and my macro lens MAYBE I would find a few Candy-Stripe Shrimp. BIG SKATE EGG CASE / MERMAID’S PURSE The Big Skate is unique in that it can have more than one embryo growing inside each egg case. Up to a maximum of 7 embryos have been reported but more often it is 3 or 4 per egg case. Jared reported that he could feel movement in the case before he put it back in the ocean. Each embryo has its own yolk sac providing the nutrition for growth. HOW DO OCTOPUSES POO?

MARINE WORMS
In Andy Lamb and Bernie Hanby’s “ Marine Life of the Pacific Northwest”, it is species AN22. They state: “While diving the Plumper Islands near Port McNeill, BC, we found this mystery necklace-worm. Significant numbers of this small (5 cm / 2 in long) creature were crawling about in the open, completely exposed. SEA ANGEL | THE MARINE DETECTIVE The wonder of it, to see something so otherworldly, to know of its rarity in this area, and to get a sense of its planktonic fragility – surviving from a larval stage, escaping predation by fish, and to be carried by the currents in the vastness of the sea.

To date I have not been able GIANT PACIFIC OCTOPUSES In Giant Pacific Octopuses, a spermatophore can apparently be up to 1 meter long and contain over four billion sperm. Usually two spermatophores are involved in one copulation. Such large numbers of sperm, and eggs, are needed when your babies hatch into the soup of the ocean. But mother gives them a fighting chance. THE MARINE DETECTIVEBLOGABOUT / CONTACTDIVE TRIPSPORTFOLIOSTORESEATURTLES
