Abyssalcore

What is abyssalcore about?

Abyssalcore is about the ocean abyss and the animals that inhabit it. I always liked the ocean abyss and deep sea animals in general. Also the cool vehicles like submarines and ROVs used to explore the ocean. Shipwrecks like the titanic looked really cool as well. So I was bored and decided to make it.

summarized from here

Pukia ohtsukai is distinguished from the only other member of the genus, Pukia falcata, by black pigment patches by the oral ends (A) (B)

(C, close-up of terminus of a tentacle showing the coiled nature and sausage-shaped morphology of the retracted tentilla.)

(important edit - there are more distinctions between the two species - however i want a more common language way of explaining these differences as even the description attached to C is a little hard to understand)

whats kind of interesting about Pukia ohtsukai is one significant difference between its other memeber of the pukiidae genus and that is found in the comparison of Pukia falcata to Pleurobrachia pileus
