A shy shrimp is on top of a Corydoras panda. It has made a little heart with water droplets.

Many tiring things, but we will overcome them with our love for fish and crustaceans.

Actually I'd apply that wonderful infographic itself to a jean jacket if I could lol

Random thought: I need a bunch of plankton patches to decorate a jean jacket

We've got painted ones here and they just lead to pedestrians being run over by cyclist lol

Asterina starfish in saltwater aquarium.

My new Zoanthid coral came with an Asterina starfish. This is why you quarantine your corals folks! Well, except if you're me—I hope to adopt a pair of harlequin shrimp soon, which exclusively eat starfish. Go forth and multiply, little Asterina.

Zoanthid coral in an aquarium

My first Zoa! Don't you just love a #coral that's not just pretty, but can also kill you? 🥰 #reef #aquarium

Jealous! Museum and quarries are chef's kiss.

You need to become more confident, but we're going to be d*cks about it the entire time! Aaaand, go!

Speaking of reef tanks, next time people say they're difficult I can tell them about how I returned from my holiday to find mine missing 1/3 of its water (salinity through the roof!) and at 32 °C. You know who didn't give a crap? Xenia. Just pulsing along as usual. #reef #coral #fishkeeping

Tubipora musica coral in an aquarium

Went into the pet store for some RO/DI water and they had a nice Tubipora musica frag for a tenner. Don't mind if I do! 🪸 Now to get a light that actually makes this baby pop... #aquarium #reef #coral #reefkeeping

That silver lining is holding on for dear life, but I'll take it

When I die, my body will be disposed of in a green / sustainable way (my corpse launched from a trebuchet into the windows of the headquarters of a fossil fuel company, with the message "kindly requesting that you cease exploration of new fossil fuel projects" taped onto the chest)

What a cool position, good luck finding a lucky candidate!

Holy crap!

When you're so stuck in your house that even *checks notes* penguins travel more than you... 🐧🌎

I got it free and sent it to all my friends. Good on you for sharing too!

Solnhofen fossils are something else. Even searching there as a hobbyist yields loads of cool stuff!

Google Photos reminder: exactly a year ago I went #diving in my home country for the first time. So different and magical! This was at Grevelingenmeer.

I meant mostly in my circle, but then I realized all the Dutch people I know who got married just did so at the courthouse with their parents as witnesses so they could get a mortgage after 10+ years of being together haha!

Admittedly I have no idea what a bridesmaid's dress actually looks like because no one does traditional weddings here! haha

This is true i can attest to this

No idea about your style but the color reminded me of this one I recently wore to a wedding. If it's your jam you can find something similar by running the pic through Google Images. I'm regular Dutch girl tall lol www.ebay.com/itm/13249608...
