Was feeding one snail I came across today and this teeny tiny guy showed up for a snack as well. 🐌🐌🍎

A polyp spawns baby moon jellyfish. Filmed in the Baltic Sea. From Sea in Motion - Hidden Worlds of the Baltic (2023).

My fellow snail brother (no snail was harmed in fact I played search and rescue cause those mfs are suicidal I had to rescue them from other shellers who might not care and kill them for the shell or might not know better ie children) but this one was given to me by this Latino boy whose family was near ours and saw me get so happy about finding some of these that he brought one over to me. He didnt even speak any English I wanted to cry he was so sweet.

Mama was stuck on her back so I flipped her 🐌🔄
