Do these self amputate their own limbs if they feel threatened?

[memutic]

@twicon They do! It's called autotomy.

I've seen enough hentai to know where this is going.

i found those in Jamaica. here's a tip for you go under water in the sea of Jamaica and lift up any rocks there are tons of brittles under them but be careful cause they can sting

No species are dangerous to my knowledge. These are actually really common and useful saltwater aquarium animals to have, I pick em up all the time!

[juventinorocks]

I like these, mostly because they don't take forever to move.

[XVocaloidxLover]

Umm, are they dangerous, cuz i would like to hold one (even though i would prolly panic for like the whole day)

[TheNotoriousGames]

[WooT885]
