An Odd Little Blue Sea Slug.

Blue Dragon Sea Slug

This Glaucus Atlanticus (also known as a Blue Sea Slug) was photographed in a rock pool in New South Wales, Australia. They measure less than 2 inches long, float on their backs (this photo shows the slug’s belly), and feed on small sea creatures and the deadly Portuguese Man o’ War. Link [Flickr]

Whoever speaketh of Cthulhu shall remember that he but seemeth dead, he sleeps, and yet he does not sleep, he has died and yet he is not dead, asleep and dead though he is, he shall rise again.

I think that the blue sea slug needs more information. It is a very complex creature and needs to be decribed with more detail.
