  • The Wonderpus photogenicus was only described in 2006 despite living in shallow, coastal waters in the adult stage. This larval stage wonderpus will float with the currents as plankton and uses clear skin as camouflage.

  • A larval-stage sailfin sculpin (Nautichthys oculofasciatus) at night off Vancouver Island, British Columbia, Canada. Larval sailfin sculpins develop extremely elongate pectoral fins that are spread like butterfly wings and used to glide down through the water column while the larva forages on zooplankton. This behavior enables sailfin sculpins to reach relatively large sizes before permanently settling during late spring.

  • Close up detail of the pincer, called a pedicellariae, of a sunflower sea star (Pycnopodia helianthoides) off Vancouver Island, BC, Canada. It is used to catch prey, ward off predators, and deter larvae from settling on their aboral surface.

  • A corkscrew sea anemone (Bartholomea annulata) searches for a place to settle at night in The Bahamas.

  • Juvenile Nassau grouper (Epinephelus striatus) settle in the shallows, often taking refuge in patch reefs. At this size they are still highly vulnerable to predation. Currently (2019), the minimum size limit for harvesting Nassau grouper in The Bahamas is three pounds (approx. 17” length), yet recent science indicates that they are not sexually mature before they weigh at least five pounds.
