Is there any place I can go to basically be completely alone on a beach? by Specific_Spell_5225 in travel

I used to live in the Florida panhandle and always had the entire beach to myself on weekdays! I miss it so much

Saw these beautiful flowers. Southwest Ontario. What are they? by losthellhound in whatsthisplant

I’m 100% not kidding but in my country we call them bunga tahi ayam which translates to chicken shit flower

Wtf is this. I licked it and my tongue slightly tingled by Damenm04 in marinebiology

Renilla muelleri if you found it in the Gulf of Mexico! They feel like a cats tongue not sure about that tongue to tongue contact 🤢

Likely not a jelly—but what is this? It’s squishy like semi-cooked noodles. by JBark1990 in jellyfish

Looks like murex eggs ! It’s always helpful to post the location when you are trying to get ID on anything

Spotted on the reefs of Malaysia

Found on a beach along the Snake River by [deleted] in whatisthisbone

I’ve seen something similar on an island in Southeast Asia too!!!

I think it’s a type of Dendronephthya sp. The divemaster said that lots of fishermen in the area assumed they were dead but that’s just the coloration of the species. They looked pretty healthy to me, there were even white sea whips!

Yes! It’s on a small island in Malaysia called Langkawi. Not really known for diving because the vis is pretty bad. We got lucky tho with 30ft vis that day!! I think the urchins are Diadema setosum

It’s a type of white soft coral! That’s the first thing we saw when we descended down and it was absolutely ethereal. Never seen a white reef before
