Hat tip to the Pink Tentacle.

Do you have an ID? Is that some sort of pteropod or something?
Wait you want content and facts??? I don’t have time for that! lol
Its a pteropod, genus Clione. Coincidentally Clione is also a sponge genus, but the pteropod has priority. Not sure what happened to the sponge name…
Nothing, I believe. The sponge genus is Cliona, not Clione.
Both genera did have a family Clionidae named for them, though, with the gastropod Clionidae in the lead. I believe the sponge family is now Clionaidae.
Sponges aren’t *real* animals anyways. just figments of our imagination.
Kevin – I don’t believe it..!! You dissing an invertebrate group……
They are more a consortia of protists and other microfauna that build a home to live in. Kind of like a commune.
Enough about invertebrates, what about the tv show? I want to know the mental process by which a Japanese producer looks footage of a pteropod and thinks: lets cue up that music from Ringu and Damien III. Then we’ll put a laugh track over it. Perfect!

Whooooo…… lives in a pineapple under the sea?
Awesome video…very fun!
I think this one goes up as part of a video intro to molluscs for the next invert bio course.
But, Kevin, dissin’ the porifera?
Is that the pulled pork speaking?
[...] This is the International Polar Year. Listen to an interview with Dr. D’Or and read the full story about the bi-polar invertebrata-ta at BBC News. Watch Cliona in action, swimming on a Japanese game show here. [...]
