#CrabAZ never ignores memes. M is for Macrocheira. This is both the largest arthropod alive (3.8 m or 12 ft leg span, only males are this extreme) and the only living species in its family. Mainly found in Japanese waters up to 600 m depth. (Yes we know it's Thursday, sorry) ๐Ÿฆ€๐Ÿงช๐Ÿฆ‘

Usually, I have Invertebrates on my mind. But I havenโ€™t been posting much about them lately. Hereโ€™s the twist.

๐Ÿ“ข CALL FOR EXPERTS: Book project with Marcel Bogers @bogers.bsky.social & me, Mike! Weโ€™re writing a book titled 'Social Media for Research Impact'. Below on this thread are 8 key areas where weโ€™d love to hear from you (or someone in your network)! We appreciate any shares or reposts! ๐Ÿ‘‡ [THREAD]

Anyone have a good example for Mike? ๐Ÿฆ‘๐Ÿ™ ๐Ÿงช

(Sorry, Norwegian rant incoming). Intet sett, intet tapt. Om kartet er tomt, betyr det at det det er ingenting av verdi der? Ingen sรฅrbare arter, habitater eller naturtyper? Nei, stort sett betyr det bare at ingen har sjekket. ๐Ÿงช ๐Ÿฆ‘ ๐Ÿ™ ๐Ÿ‡ง๐Ÿ‡ป

Happy new year! As above, so below. ๐Ÿ™ ๐Ÿงช ๐Ÿฆ‘

The larva of a Ctenophore (comb jelly), probably Pleurobrachia pileus. Comb jellies like the sea gooseberry are often mistaken for jellyfish. Unlike jellyfish, comb jellies donโ€™t have stinging cells to capture their prey, instead having sticky tentacles. ๐Ÿฆ‘

Day 17 of #Crustmas + #InvertAdvent I thought it was a molt of Striated Red Porcelain Crab, but turns out it was a dead one. #ShoreWalk #Photography ๐ŸŒฟ๐Ÿ–Œ๏ธ ๐Ÿฆ‘ ๐Ÿ“ธ๐Ÿ“ธ #่™ซ ๐Ÿฆ€

Synanceia verrucosa, the stonefish, It is probably the most poisonous fish species in existenceโ˜ ๏ธ, Luckily, it is a gentle fish that uses its venom only if stepped on. Can you figure out where the eyes are? ๐Ÿ˜ƒ #fish #wildlife #stonefish #underwaterphotography #photography #nature #marinelife ๐ŸŒฟ๐Ÿ“ท๐Ÿ“ธ๐Ÿฆ‘

Some furry coral crab I found during night dive in Koh Tao this July. I think it could be Cymo melanodactylus, but not entirely sure. But I'm sure it's cute! ๐Ÿค๐Ÿฆ€โœจ๏ธ #Crustmas #marinelife #underwaterphotography

Happy #MolluscMonday! ๐Ÿš The flamboyant Chromodoris annae nudibranch isn't just a pretty faceโ€”those vibrant colors warn predators of its toxicity. It's nature's version of 'look, but don't touch!' #MarineLife

Someone asked me recently..."Don't you ever get bored looking at these obscure things that no one knows about?".....Nope. I can talk for days about sea spiders! Here's the sea spider Nymphon australe, collected from Western Antarctica in 2012/2013. The DOMINANT species in the Southern Ocean. ๐Ÿฆ‘๐Ÿงช๐ŸŒŽ๐Ÿง๐Ÿ‡ฆ๐Ÿ‡ถ

So excited about #MolluscMonday decided to post another! The blue dragon sea slug (Glaucus atlanticus) is as stunning as it is dangerous. It preys on venomous jellyfish like Portuguese man o' wars, storing their stingers for its own defense. #marinelife

Spectacular black and white marine mosaic in the womenโ€™s changing room (apodyterium) at the Central Baths, ancient Herculaneum. Triton with dolphins, cherub, octopus and cuttlefish. 1st century AD. Modern changing rooms could do with a Roman style upgrade! ๐Ÿ“ท by me #MosaicMonday #Archaeology
