Underwater Marvels
The Transparent Sea Salp
Sea salps are almost completely transparent, floating through the ocean like living glass barrels. They often link together to form long, drifting chains, creating a spectacle that’s part nature, part modern art installation. These gelatinous creatures filter plankton as they drift with ocean currents, their transparency helping them blend into their watery surroundings and avoid predators.
The Drifting Chains
These gelatinous animals drift with ocean currents, filtering plankton as they go. Their chains can stretch for meters, resembling floating strands of glass. Witnessing a chain of sea salps is like observing an underwater parade, a mesmerizing display of nature’s creativity. Their transparency not only makes them difficult to spot but also adds an otherworldly beauty to their presence in the ocean’s depths.
