universe-patchnotes:

  • Crabs now deal poison damage.
  • Crow faction and Raven factions have been merged into one group to remove the divide between players and encourage them to play and work together.
  • Seahorses re-balanced entirely and can now fight on land. *this is subject to change depending on how it affects the balance of the game.
  • Reduced the frequency of blackholes spawning.
  • Increased atmospheric pressure values on the Venus server.

TEMPORARY QUICK-FIX PATCH NOTES

  • Crab poison damage formula changed. *the damage was not intended to scale so high that Shark and Octopus players were being easily preyed on
  • Seahorses temporarily removed from the game due to a bug that allowed them to clip into other players killing them instantly.

Fish Using Jellyfish as Shelter

Jellyfish serve as a habitat to many ocean creatures… Jellyfish play a critical role in the lives of different marine creatures. While they are used as a direct food source for many, some use them as shelter (juvenile fish), some as a means of travelling from A to B and some have a combined interest of travelling while snacking on the microscopic parasites attached to the Jellyfish.

These symbiotic relationships are very intricate and are being investigated by scientists.

Before on this blog I have posted about the Nembrotha purpureolineata, a nudibranch species that had recently been decided to include what used to be a separate species, Nembrotha rutilans. The nudibranch pictured above would once have been considered the Nembrotha rutilans, which is why I’m giving it its own post. Once again, members of this species grow to be 12cm long, live in the Indo-West Pacific, and feed on ascidians and tunicates. Here is the old post, as it is interesting to see the diversity there is even within nudibranch species!
