  • It's a Spanish dancer free swimming!

  • where to buy ?

    

  • @lolrulerz All the footage is available to license. Please email me for more details - cara@scubazoo.com

  • It seems parasitic. Like it'd latch onto you any change it got.

  • @Dawgmeatt - these animals are not parasitic this is a nudibranch, a marine gastropod mollusk in the family Hexabranchidae. It has two modes of movement... crawling and this ingenious "free swimming" which gives it the common name "Spanish dancer"!

  • This is a Flatworm, often called a Spanish Dancer for obvious reasons. They crawl along the sand and can also free swim in open water as this "crash landing" shows! Hope you all enjoy!

  • This behaviour is not "fake"; Flatworms often free swim in this ripple affect and strong currents could have added to the crash-landing. As to whether it is "funny".. that is an entirely personal subjective opinion. It makes me smile though! ;)

  • @WeirdunderWaterWorld I'm pretty sure they were referring to the animal.

  • What is that?

  • Woah that was intense

  • I want one.

  • Is calefactable?

  • @CupcakeNapper Wanna touch it?

  • I hope he had OnStar.

  • Pretty. 

  • After it lands and recollects itself it's like "Dafuq just happened man?"
