Hi DMS! Thank you for sharing this very unique and delicate sea creature with us. There's such a fine balance to be found in our ocean's regional chemistry and it's local sea life. ❤️🦋🐌

The diversity of molluscs never ceases to amaze me. Wouldn't it be great if there were some that could fly through the air like this 🐌🦋

What is a nautilus? 1:57 Are they nautilus or related?

[@snailhawk]

Only distantly. They are both molluscs that live in the ocean but Nautilus belongs to the same group as octopus and squid, sea butterflies are closer to sea slugs
