Looks like these deep-sea creatures won’t need to scramble for a Halloween costume at the last minute!

SUPER COOL INVERT SHENANIGANS
Sea urchins have modified mouth parts on the underside of their bodies called an Aristotle’s lantern. The lantern is made up of tooth-like plates that scrape up bits of food like algae, as seen here.
We specifically don’t scrub the algae in this habitat for the urchins, and I see them on the walls all the time, presumably getting a tasty meal. But I had never seen it in action before last week! Invertebrates are such cool little aliens!

Sand stars may seem sleepy, but when seen sped up, turning minutes to seconds, their sandy strolls surge into serious sprints!
Invertebrate high-five! 🐙 Octopuses feel, smell and taste the world around them through their suckers, while sea urchins use their tiny tube feet to move about the seafloor and pass food to their mouth.
