Blue Glaucus

The Blue Glaucus lives throughout the Pacific to the warm tropical waters of the Indian ocean. Even though they are found throughout all major oceans they are hard to find because of their small size of 3 centimeters in length. They swim upside down showing its blue belly to the sky and its light grey side to the bottom of the ocean. This acts as camouflage to protect itself from predators of the sky and sea. The Blue Glaucus is a poisonous sea slug that gains its toxin through its diet of the Portuguese man o’ wars, which is one of the most toxic jellyfish in the world. 14
