THIS CRITTER IS KILLLING ME. It's a sea slug that has converged on a fish shape.

Here's a vid of it swimming vimeo.com/159589650

It's "pectoral fins" are Rhinophores, basically antenna for smelling. It hunts jellyfish, and uses the remnant of its Foot to stick to them.

@Daylight took me a while to figure out that that's a real animal, not something from Subnautica

Follow

@noiob it looks SO similar to the Ghost Leviathan i atted their twitter asking if its an inspiration

@Daylight I'm glad this one's a lot more cute and less scary
