PSA 🗣️🔊
Don’t touch starfish....❌❌❌
This is a request to all tourists, don’t tuch starfish. REQUEST TO ALL GUIDE Please make your clients aware of this.
What happens when we lift a starfish out of water for an impromptu photo session?
All over the body of starfish are papules called dermal gills. Carbon dioxide gases are exchanged for oxygen between the coelomic liquid of the starfish and the water. Essentially, it’s how they breathe, like having hundreds of tiny noses all over your body.
As fresh air is toxic to starfish and they can’t hold their breath for very long, each time they’re lifted out of the water for a photo op, they are drowning and suffering from a build up of carbon dioxide. It’s the equivalent of someone filling your lungs with water for a little while and then emptying them again. It’s not a good day out. When this is done repeatedly, it’s a flip of the coin as to whether the poor creature can die from drowning or the stress of being semi-drowned so many times.
Wildlife are not our playthings. Just because a creature is slow enough to be caught by human hands, that doesn’t give us the right to do so, and the social media attention gained certainly does not justify the harm caused to the critter.
This is an act we’re all guilty of at some point. What was happening to that animal in the moment didn’t cross our minds. But now we know better, so we must do better.

This is exactly how baby stingrays look 🥰
These little guys are adorable ☺️
Very interesting and good to know
one of the strangest kind of animals on planet 😍
"The Leaf Sheep"
The funny little creatures have the face of a cow or sheep, but a back that looks like a house plant.
Animal That Can Photosynthesize
They’re only about 5 mm long and can be found in shallow marine waters in Japan, Indonesia and the Philippines.
They look like a farm animal, act like a plant, and live in the sea! 💚

Starfish are susceptible to prey since they can’t move so quickly. Be careful of the tank mates you choose with a starfish in the mix.
Not only informative, the narration of this video is entertaining

If you have not yet seen this documentary, it’s worth your time. As aquatic hobbyists, the relationship built between this man and the octopus is heart-warming. We accessed it in Netflix.
Netflix has an exotic subject, an obsessed observer, exquisite visual storytelling, and millions of viewers who wanted to escape.
Similar to the mantis shrimp, this crustacean packs a punch...but it’s a unique punch.
Using a camera shooting 300,000 frames per second, researchers catch the amphipod snapping its extraordinarily powerful claw.
As aquarium hobbyists, we all have observed aggressive behavior - smacking with tails, biting, pushing, etc. This is certainly an entertaining article though!
In new proof that 2020 has been a crappy year basically everywhere, scientists have captured video evidence of octopuses randomly punching at fish, possibly for no reason other than being spiteful.
“The new reef is blade-like. With an almost 1-mile-wide base, it rises 1,640 feet and its peak sits about 130 feet below the ocean's surface. It is taller than the Empire State Building (1,450 feet), Petronas Twin Towers (1,480 feet) and Eiffel Tower (1,060 feet).”
Scientists have discovered a 1,640-foot-tall detached coral reef in Australia's Great Barrier Reef — the first of its kind in over 120 years.
Clients sometimes ask about adding an octopus to their aquarium. This is why we advise against it.

Hungarian aquatic scientist created a hybrid fish.
Scientists accidentally created a "sturddlefish," or hybrid of an American paddlefish and a Russian sturgeon, in an attempt to help the critically endangered sturgeon reproduce asexually. Instead, they wound up with a new fish entirely.
LOL, this ability is nothing new to hobbyists who have owned any type of bamboo nurse shark. They will use their fins to get themselves out of a tight spot or just to move short distances. The article title was funny tho...😆
Scientists documented four new species of walking shark that they say have developed the ability to walk very recently. Walking sharks use their fins to physically walk along the seafloor rather th…
For those clients local to Maryland, you may enjoy this show at The Weinberg in Frederick, MD on March 20th about the prehistoric underwater landscape.
Hint: It’s related to the jellyfish
H. salminicola, a common salmon parasite, is the first animal found in the wild to not have mitochondrial DNA, which is required for respiration.
The coconut octopus collects coconut and sea shells they find on the ocean floor to use them for protection. Using plastic makes him vulnerable to predators since they can see through the cup. Eating this octopus with the cup puts that predator at risk of death for consuming the plastic.
He and his friends spent time looking for a new shell and after trying a few, they found the octopus a new home.
Now this is an interesting way to power your home 🤔
