Why did I have to be born an ape who worries about stuff instead of a little smiling animate space-flower who vibes across the sea floor? glorp

Chromodoris willani, the blue sea slug.

It's a dorid nudibranch, and there's all sorts of cute nudibranches out there to look at like sea bunnies and the blue glaucus.

Im really annoyed I was an adult when I learned about these creatures. I would have been soo obsessed as a kid. All I can see is that cute smiling face. Perfection.
