After admiring these rare marine species, many people will see how important protecting the ocean is.

Take a look at some of the marine species featured in the book below to feel the strange beauty radiating from them.

Medusa red-eyed jellyfish

Medusa red-eyed jellyfish (scientific name: Polyorchis penicillatus) is one of the most beautiful jellyfish of the Pacific coast because of the attractive red eye spots around the tentacles.

Sea slugs have a short lifespan – no more than 4 months.

The outstanding feature of this tropical sea creature is its eye-catching multi-colored skin, which becomes visible when its shell is lost during maturity. Nudibranch is also very smart in using the colorful colors of his body to disguise himself from enemies.

Orange-rimmed marine flatworm

With a flat body, this flatworm does not have a circulatory system but simply allows oxygen to penetrate directly into the body through the tissues without the need for respiration.

More specifically, orange-ringed marine flatworms also possess 2 male reproductive organs and 3-5 female reproductive organs. This makes them one of the unique hermaphrodites in the sea.

The name of this invertebrate marine species comes from its shape resembling an anemone flower on land, but it actually has half-plant, half-animal characteristics with the nickname “carnivorous sea monster”. .

When in the ocean, it will be very difficult for you to detect this creature because it has a very subtle camouflage ability. Thanks to their tree-like shape, they easily hide in sand layers to avoid enemies and deceive prey.

Mu squid

Although often called squid, they are not real squid because they look like a hybrid between an octopus and a squid.

Female squid live in low intertidal areas down to 300m deep around the North Pacific Ocean from Japan to Southern California, feeding mainly on shrimp and small crustaceans.

White sea spider crab

White sea spider crabs (scientific name: Tanaoa distinctus) not only have a spider-like appearance, but they can also hurt humans if you accidentally touch them.

The reason this creature is called brittle starfish is because its arms break easily to create a mechanical defense.

Scientists say the body structure of this starfish is radially symmetrical. They can use any combination of all five zigzag tentacles of their body to move in any direction desired.

These crabs often live in snail shells or similar hollow objects. Their abdomen is often soft and unprotected.

That’s why this shell is so important to hermit crabs, usually over time, the shells will be replaced to fit the body.

Gonatus onyx (Gonatus onyx)

Gonatus onyx is a species of squid in the Gonatidae family discovered by scientists in 2000 in the North Pacific Ocean with the highlight of its large round black eyes and body length of about 18cm.
