Tone it down a little, Physalia mikazuki sp. nov.!

This new cryptic species is in the same genus as "Portuguese man-of-war" (Physalia physalis), also called 'bluebottle'.

Their presence near northern Japan suggests concerning climate change-driven marine ecosystem shifts.
From Yongstar et al (2025) "Physalia mikazuki sp. nov. (Phylum Cnidaria; class Hydrozoa) blown into Japan’s northeast (Tohoku) at the whim of marine ecosystem change" "Figure 4. Morphological characteristics of Physalia mikazuki sp. nov. collected from Gamo Beach, Sendai City, Miyagi Prefecture, Japan. Type 112960 (Tohoku University Museum).; Central image: Entire colony displaying the gas-filled pneumatophore and trailing tentacles (scale bar = 5 cm).; (A) Lateral view of the pneumatophore with a well-defined wrinkled crest and transparent, sail-shaped float.; (B) Close-up of the dorsal surface beneath the pneumatophore, highlighting clusters of gonodendra, tentacular palpons, and gastrozooids with yellow-tipped oral regions.; (C) Multiple principal tentacles exhibiting characteristic coiled morphology.; (D) Zooid clusters divided into the posterior zone (right), containing six zooid clusters (I–VI) and a protozooid (PZ), and the main zone (left), with densely packed tripartite zooid groups extending aborally. Colony orientation is indicated (anterior, posterior, dorsal, ventral).; (E) Close-up view of the gastrozooids elongate with distally swollen, balloon-like yellow tips, highlighting their feeding structures. Photographs taken of live specimens under natural and aquarium lighting to preserve color and morphology."

acabe de conhecer um grupo chamado Physalia-Courses, de cientistas dando treinamento sobre temas científicos e de comunicação científica

apaixonada pelo nome Physalia, que é o gênero da caravela-portuguesa que não é um animal mas uma colônia de indivíduos especializados interdependentes 💙

This is the Portuguese Man O’ War (Physalia physalis)—a floating colony with tentacles that can deliver a painful sting, even when washed ashore 😳
Have you seen one in Jamaica?

WHOA. A bunch of Glaucus sea slugs attacking a Physalia- Man o war #siphonophore #molluscmonday
snailseyeview.bsky.social Bronwen Scott @snailseyeview.bsky.social · Mar 7
The tentacles are armed with stinging cells (nematocysts). These nematocysts have no effect on Glaucus.

Well, that’s not entirely true. They have an effect in that the sea slug adopts the undischarged nematocysts for its own defence. (8/9)

Hey did you know that Portuguese man o' wars are inflated by a gas that's like 15% carbon monoxide, which they fart out from little glands with high amounts of folic acid?

Because it lives in such deep water, no human stings have ever been documented, but it's related to the Portuguese man-o-war (Physalia physalis), so we can assume it packs a potent punch.

In the dark depths, it's nearly invisible. It needs the rover's lights to illuminate the tentacles...
