I never thought this sequel would happen! We found the baby crown-of-thorns again!! The same exact one from last year! I can't believe I ever found it in the first place, once, let alone twice! I have never encountered an underwater creature twice and known for sure that it was the same creature, but in this case I have no doubt, especially since I've never ever seen another baby crown-of-thorns. Wowowow.
It grew! Only a little, but I immediately thought it looked bigger, a tiny bit less babyish. I measured it against my slate and it was almost the width of the slate, so I think it grew about half an inch.
It's so nice to hold and touch! It held onto me, and crawled on my hand with its little tube feet. I love you, baby! :-)
Don't handle crown-of-thorns unless you know what you're doing--the thorns are venomous and extremely sharp, and people have had very bad reactions to being pricked!
For more, check out my "Crown-of-Thorns" and "Baby Crown-of-Thorns" videos.
@GuitargodJ I didn't really know for sure. :) It was just that it was in the exact same area, and I had never seen another baby crown-of-thorns, anywhere.

This is beautiful! I adore all of your underwater videos, but I love this one the most. So glad you were "reunited" with your baby crown-of-thorns! Keep up the great work, you are truly amazing to handle and show people these creatures.
