Creepy seaweed/algal thing in the ocean today! Grossed me out and fascinated me at the same time 😂

Being Australia, it's probably mightily poisonous too😬.
Ha! It looks it, but no. Though I wouldn’t recommend eating it. 🤢
I did come across a grumpy spider today. He was none too impressed at being disturbed. I chose not to wrangle with him.
Jeeeeez😮. Yes, I'd leave that one well alone, too.
Ew. Did you touch it? Lol
I’m not sure what the go is this year, but there are spiders everywhere here 😳They must have had a good winter!
It’s not unusual to see spiders, but this year I’ve found the number to be next level! 🕸️🕷️🕸️🕷️
No need for fake webs at Halloween 😬
Nope. Nope. And Nope 🙂↔️
😂🤢
It was definitely a solid Nope!
Good and understood. It looks disgusting!
I don't actually mind spiders but you have a whole different level of them over there. Having a spider that can kill you, is frankly ridiculous😂😂.
💯
Disgusting but mesmerising 🤢😳
Shit I hit GN on accident lol but maybe it fits
I have a beetle on my wallett😬. (Paul Smith).
😂😂
I’m a catch and release person. You just learn to be very very careful.
Thankfully the dangerous ones tend not to come inside the house. 😮💨
Well that's something, at least🙏🏻.
Is it the Hunstman that's absolutely massive🤔.
Funny!!!! 🤣
Though I will be very unhappy if that thing features in my dreams tonight!
Oh! I like it!!! 💙🤍
Though I would prefer a ladybird for me🐞
That will not happen. It will not. ✨🪄🫂
Yes! And those suckers do come inside occasionally! Though they are not venomous (to humans) 🙏😅
💜🙏
🤞
Whoa that's super creepy 😬😬😬
That seaweed look can be deceptive. Bryozoans are colonies of tiny filter-feeding animals that just look like plants, and one marine species is even called hornwrack or hard seaweed because people mistook it for algae. If the slimy stuff is in jelly-like blobs, that fits too.
It was!
Thank you for sharing that! 🙏
Though I may regret knowing about them as I fall asleep tonight 😳😅😂
Very creepy! I freak out when I touch seaweed in ocean lol
Same! I can tolerate spiders and snakes but seaweed in the ocean mildly touching my skin 😱 Nope!
My mind goes straight to sea-demons
Sea-demons?? Do I want to know what they are 🙀?
My mind thinks deadly jellyfish or octopus or shark. But that’s probably because of where I live 🥹
Sea Angels I can cope with to look at but not touching me!
Australian Geographic
Sea angels are mind-bogglingly weird
Sea angels are surreal little beasties that look more like Pokemon than actual living creatures - proof that the ocean is far more mysterious than ...
Will have to look into this later. I just made up sea demons, as it's not like real things that I actually fear, but worse things.
Ohhhh! Those sea demons!
They are definitely more terrifying! 😅
"When sea angels want to mate, they will draw in close to one another and turn their reproductive organs inside-out. They’ll proceed to bind themselves together using a specialised sucker, which leaves a nasty scar when they finally separate."
This is from the sea ANGEL article you linked
lol! I did say I didn’t want it to touch me!!!!
Imagine what a sea Demon would do 🙀
Scar you for life
And not just physically 😳
wtf, why are you a) researching these, and b) implanting them into my future maritime fears databank?
Wasn’t researching. They just appeared in my feed 😊
If they are now in my maritime fears databank, I feel it’s only fair to share!
