Glaucus atlanticus
text:
Glaucus atlanticus is a species of sea slug in the family Glaucidae. These sea slugs live in the pelagic zone, where they float upside-down by using the surface tension of the water to stay afloat. They are carried along by the winds and ocean currents. G. atlanticus makes use of countershading; the blue side of their bodies faces upwards, blending in with the blue of the water. The silver/grey side of the sea slug faces downwards, blending in with the sunlight reflecting on the ocean's surface
