Got sea slug?

So, a friend of mine in Seattle has her PhD more or less in sea slugs. She's a marine biologist and some of her research has led to stronger glues and life saving medicines.

She posted this link on FB today showing that sea slugs are way more interesting than their land-based counterparts. Great photos.

Very cool! -- An excellent example of evolution of a species.

I had a sea slug in my fish tank. Then it died.
It killed damn near everything in the tank when it did, it was like an anthrax nudibranch.

Creatured that live in the ocean have always fascinated me. There are so many others that we still don't know about
