Muck Fauna Documentary

[klausi]

I am taking a different approach to popularizing marine biology of the "muck" fauna here: instead of explaining all I know about the biology of the animals I film underwater, I ask questions about them which come to my mind. All filmed on Negros Island in the Philippines, in sand and seagrass.

The documentary discusses the extremely potent venom of the stonefish; nudibranch biodiversity; the small size of gobies; the prevalence of kleptoplasty; and more.

Enjoy:

Tagged to watch later. I went diving in Aruba and my buddy said there are stonefish there. My face

Thanks Dr was a great Saturday morning watch while eating breakfast.
I started to wonder and try to simply answer the ‘why haven’t other non-sessile species evolved to eat chloroplasts’ - I am still wondering around muttering to myself about it

Let me know if you come up with a good answer please. There could be some trade-off, that carrying all these chloroplasts causes some kind of strain on the organism?
