Blueberry hermit crab Coenobita purpureus.
The Purpureus is usually white in the juvenile stage, becoming violet, blue, violet-blue or violet-red as it ages. The eyes are oval in shape and the eyestalks are quite long.
This is not a flower, but a sea predator - a tubular hydroroid.
The middle of the “flower” is its mouth, surrounded by tentacles. Hydroroid feeds on tiny planktonic crustaceans.
When young, the tripod fish has beautiful fins that make it look like a jellyfish. But as they grow older, these beautiful fins harden and turn into stilts. They allow the fish to rest on the seabed and help in hunting. In conditions of poor visibility, these “stilts” are used by fish as tactile organs to identify prey.

Octopuses can “shrink”😧
In addition to having three hearts, blue blood and the ability to change color depending on the environment, octopuses have the amazing ability to penetrate through small holes - many times smaller than their own body.
✔️The fact is that octopuses have no bones, which makes their body elastic. They can easily change the shape of their body and seep into small holes. The main thing is that their powerful, hard jaws penetrate there, and the boneless body, no matter how large it is, will easily penetrate after.
