Based on Ernst Haeckel’s illustrations to give credit where it’s due, bc they are very cool and in the public domain, but he was also racist af so don’t get too excited lol. It’s a siphonophore which I think is my new favorite type of animal, a common ex is the Portuguese man of war. They are actually colonies of identical individual cells that specialize to work together to survive. They come in so many beautiful forms and can reach 40 meters long, or two tennis courts. My favorite is the pyrosome, third slide, bc wtf dude. You could theoretically get stuck and die in one if it was big enough due to physics, even tho they don’t hunt, more filter feed or sting.
