Gramma dejongi Seen on Video

The above video begins with a slideshow high definition pictures of this gorgeous Cuban fish, followed by a brief video. The more and more I see this [...]
BP Oil Spill Covers Dolphins, Whales, and Sharks
Just yesterday we talked about how dolphins and sharks were being affected by the BP oil spill. Now, we’ve uncovered a video showing just that, dolphins and other aquatic life swimming in oceans of oil. The narration is a bit on the bland, monotone side, but with graphic images like these, who really needs the [...]
Stunning Anemone Shrimp Video via Coral Morphologic
Coral Morphologic keeps rolling out the gems. This time, the video is of the sun anemone shrimp (Periclimenes rathbunae). This species is the least common of the three Florida anemone shrimp, and unlike the other two species, P. rathbunae doesn’t performing any cleaning activity on fish. Instead, this shrimp will live exclusively on its anemone [...]
How BP Handles a Coffee Spill
I’m sure most of you have seen this video, but for those who haven’t, it’s an absolute must. Sometimes the best way to cope with tragedy and other terrible situations is to laugh. So that’s what we’ll do. Above is a fairly funny video of how BP would handle a coffee spill. They manage to [...]
Cuttlefish Changing Color and Texture
Here’s an interesting video from ABC News (via Yahoo!) of cuttlefish changing their colors and textures to match their surroundings. Most people already know of the cuttlefish’s ability to change its color dramatically, but most fail to realize that they are also changing the texture (or appearance of their texture) as well. This allows the [...]

Pictures and videos of this stunning aquarium have been plastered all over ReefCentral and other places on the web, so most people know what we’re talking about.

Tiger Flatworms on Morphologic Blog
I don’t know how they do it, but the guys at the Morphologic Blog continue to make both common and unusual saltwater animals look amazing on video. Their latest video, entitled “Transmission”, displays one of the unusual…the Tiger Flatworm (Pseudoceros crozieri) moving about on a white background. The body of the aptly named flatworm undulates [...]
Lettuce Sea Slug Seen in High Definition
Here is a great video of the Lettuce Sea Slug from the Morphologic Blog. I’m normally not a fan of owning sea slugs due to their delicate nature and specific diet, but the Elysia crispata “Lettuce Sea Slug” is the exception. Unlike their counterparts, they don’t eat bryozoans, hydroids, or anything like that. Instead, the [...]
