Hatched these a week ago, have no clue on the morphs gonna have to ask some of the real experts.

Weird shit man, but good for you. Some bizarre looking bps, I’ll send some pics to a friend.

as for those asking about eagles, some times the impact alone is enough to stun prey and then they just sink talons in. Can dispatch with a bite to the back of the head, once in a while they just hold on and ride the prey until it weakens. Some grab and drag off a Cliff too

One of the most amazing squids out there.

Looks like it's trying to mimic a sea pen or siphonophore

I like watching them eat eels even though I like eels.

Yeah, that's another interesting thing about them. I would've thought moray eels would be tougher than them and I'm surprised they cant just bite the krait and cause severe damage (aren't moray eel jaws very strong?).

Here's a larger eel that looked like it was finished but managed to get the snake to release it after of few bites. Still no visible damage though. Maybe the venom works fast? Either that or the snake scales are really tough.

It’s a bit of both, sea snake and krait venom has to work extremely fast or the prey would disappear before it died.

Taking advantage of the sudden bounty!

I know it’s actually not close to his balls, but close enough to make me uncomfortable.

I love jumping spiders so much, they will actually chase a laser pointer too.

Same here! I will go out of my way to save them and put them outside if they're in my house.

I trap them under a glass and slide a piece of paper under which gets them to jump in the glass. Then I transport them outside.
