hydrate before you diedrate

you can go through my gifs tag for plenty of gifs, but for still images.... who do you think i am of COURSE i have many many trent crimm images /lh

im going to reblog this twice so i can fit a truly ungodly amount of images in (it's not all of them but it's a lot) (one reblog + this one for trent images, at least one more for some great james lance pics) (these are mostly episode stills and promo pics i have saved, just what's all in my folder, although i have others drifting around somewhere and no doubt i'm missing a few...)

How big are kelp crabs? He says they hide in kelp from predators — which predators? What do they eat? What is their life cycle like? Are there any other fun kelp crabs facts you can share?

Thank you so much for working to have an aquarium that reflects the whole ecosystem, and not just charismatic fauna (although the kelp crab now has at least two more people who think it’s charismatic).

Hi! Kelp crabs are definitely charismatic in their own way :)

Most kelp crabs don't get too big—maybe the size of an adult hand. They mainly eat algae, but they also supplement their diet with other invertebrates like mussels, barnacles, bryozoans, etc—especially when algae cover decreases in the winter.

Sea otters love to eat them! So do seabirds like gulls and some fish. One fun fact is kelp crabs, like other crabs, start their lives as tiny, free-swimming larvae.

Anyway apparently Mr. Eclipse made 5000 years' worth of solar eclipse graphics, which you can find the simpler versions of here
