It Looks Like a Nudibranch to Me
by director on Jul.06, 2009, under Video, science
I love the casual focus on marine biology, which many landlovers follow passionately, over at aquamarines. I’m particularly interested in the article there on a mysterious black swimming thing, filmed in the waters near shore at a sandy beach:
On the YouTube page for the video, one knowledgeable commenter informs the videographer that it’s a “Pacific skirt-fish”. Of course, there’s no mention of the “Pacific skirt-fish” anywhere else, including the Encyclopedia of Life, which nonetheless does have an entry for the Pacific white skate.
The creature in the video looks like a nudibranch to me.
