From the mist,
the Dragon awakens.
Ancient power flows through the sky,
watching over the world in silence.🐉✨
霧の中から、
龍が目覚める
古代の力が空を巡り
静かに世界を見守っている🪷🐉✨

Margined Blue Dragon (Glaucillia marginata) 💙
Much smaller than its cousin Glaucus atlanticus, you may see marginata washed up with the rest of the blue fleet during the summer months 🌊

BLUE DRAGON!!! 😱🐉🌊 Or Blue Glaucus ( Glaucus atlanticus ) One of nature’s coolest creations showed up in front of me today in numbers washed up on a beach. Excuse me while I nerd out on this moment a bit . . . .
This incredible creature, is a nudibranch, and like other sea slug species it isn’t venomous by itself, these guys feed on Portuguese man-o-war jellyfish ( blue-bottles ) and when they are feeding they can absorb the venom they carry. They then store the absorbed stinging cells for protection from predation. Because they are so teeny, very rarely getting bigger than 3cm long, the venom they absorb is not enough for someone human size like me to feel it if I was stung by just one little guy, however, these guys can be seen in a “ Blue Fleet “ which often float together in the hundreds and wash up, collaboratively the venom they carry could be harmful if stung ( also rare for humans ). Many of the ones I found, had already passed away, but I did move some to a little rockpool to give them a fighting second chance.
Different to other nudibranchs, the Blue Glaucus species lives entirely in the water column, a true sailor! An air bubble is stored in their little stomachs, to keep them afloat, often they flip on their back showing their brightly coloured belly, to warn airborne predators. 🦅
These guys have been on my list for so long, when I first travelled and worked / dived after completing my marine biology degree, I have been actively searching, and of the thousands of nudibranchs ive seen, today topped it. Goodluck in your new rockpool, and the next high tide, little guys.

I N F O: Normally found floating facedown in open sea far from the shore, this Pelagic nudibranch was observed on the coasts of Gran Canaria where wind and offshore currents favored it's arrival and the arrival of some of the venomous species on which it feeds, like this Blue Button (Porpita porpita).

The Blue Dragon may look adorable, but it’s one of the ocean’s most dangerous creatures. This tiny sea slug steals venom from jellyfish and delivers an even stronger sting. Cute doesn’t always mean harmless.

◾️Blue Dragon
🐉✨ Blue Dragon arrivò in Italia il 6 aprile 2009 su Cartoon Network, e il 14 settembre su Italia 1, portando in TV un mondo pieno di avventure 🗺️, magie ✨ e creature gigantesche nate dalle ombre. 🌑🐲
La storia segue Shu, un ragazzo coraggioso 💪 che vive in un villaggio tranquillo 🏡… finché il malvagio impero guidato da Nene non inizia ad attaccare e conquistare tutto ciò che incontra. ⚔️🔥
Durante uno di questi attacchi, Shu scopre di possedere un potere speciale: la sua ombra può trasformarsi in un’enorme creatura leggendaria, il potentissimo Blue Dragon. 🌑➡️🐲💥
Insieme ai suoi amici Kluke, Jiro, Marumaro e alla misteriosa Zola, intraprenderà un viaggio epico 🗺️✨ per fermare Nene e salvare il mondo. 🌍
Ognuno di loro può evocare la propria ombra 👤, trasformandola in una creatura pronta a combattere nelle battaglie più spettacolari. ⚡💥🐉
Tra villaggi da salvare 🏘️, mostri da affrontare 👹 e poteri nascosti da scoprire 🔮, l’avventura di Shu diventa una vera missione per difendere il futuro del loro mondo. 🌍✨
E poi diciamolo…
lo stile dei personaggi ricordava tantissimo Dragon Ball 🐉 perché dietro ai disegni c’era proprio Akira Toriyama. 👀🔥✏️
Un anime pieno di magia ✨, amicizia 🤝 e combattimenti spettacolari ⚔️ che per molti è stato una piccola gemma degli anni 2000. 💫📺

Have you seen these blue creatures before? 💙

Dragón azul 💙 Este invierno está siendo especialmente intenso y, durante la última borrasca, volvimos a ver en Gran Canaria muchos de estos nudibranquios varados en la orilla junto a otras especies pelágicas como el velero (Velella velella), el botón azul (Porpita porpita), el caracol violeta (Janthina janthina) o la carabela portuguesa (Physalia physalis), que también aparece en el vídeo.
El dragón azul (Glaucus atlanticus) es una pequeña babosa marina de aguas abiertas que vive en la superficie del océano. Habita en zonas tropicales y templadas, flotando boca abajo mientras se desplaza a la deriva, arrastrado por corrientes y vientos junto a otros organismos de los que se alimenta. Como apenas puede nadar, cuando estas masas de agua llegan a la costa no es capaz de enfrentarse al oleaje ni al viento y termina varando en la arena, sin posibilidad de regresar mar adentro.
Aunque es una suerte poder verlos de cerca, su presencia en la orilla supone el final de su viaje.

Did you know that tiny aliens really exist?!? 👽🤩
After a big summer swell, the Blue Dragon (Glaucus atlanticus) sometimes wash up on our local beaches! 💙
These tiny sea slugs drift at the ocean’s surface as part of the “blue fleet”, feeding on venomous creatures like bluebottles and other siphonophores. They don’t just eat them, they store the stinging cells from their prey and reuse them for their own defence! 🥷
They are also the only nudibranchs that float, they do this by swallowing a bubble of air and holding it in their stomachs! 🤩
