Fang Youqun and others were also overwhelmed by the sight.
This is the biggest difference between southern dancers and Spanish dancers.
Although the dance of the Spanish dancer is more passionate and explosive, you cannot see the dancing posture of the Spanish dancer in the aquarium.
Spanish dancers need the help of fierce waves or strong currents to dance, and can only maintain it for a short period of time.
Although the dance of the Southern dancers is not as passionate as that of the Spanish dancers, it is equally graceful and enjoyable to watch, and it also lasts longer. As long as there is enough food, the Southern dancers can keep dancing without getting tired. Dance is the way Southern dancers move.
In addition, the dance of the southern dancers is also an important means of survival.
Most creatures of the Manatee family are very fragile. Even though its body is nearly ten centimeters long, the Southern Dancer cannot even beat a small sea fish.
When the southern dancer dances, its gill feathers flutter up and down, making it look like a ferocious marine predator with bared fangs and claws.
Most marine creatures would not dare to provoke the Southern Dancers after seeing their ferocious appearance.
"I didn't expect this guy looks so much like the crystal jelly cute sea hare, but he dances so beautifully." Fang Youqun exclaimed.
"Who told you that the cute crystal jelly sea hare can't dance?" Xiang Yang asked with a smile.
"Ah? The cute crystal jelly sea hare can also dance?" Fang Youqun said in disbelief.
"Of course." Xiang Yang nodded affirmatively.
“In fact, whether it’s the Crystal Jelly Cute Sea Hare, the Southern Dancer, or the Spanish Dancer, they can all be called sea slugs.
Many marine creatures that are very beautiful both inside and outside the ocean and that most people cannot name or have not yet been named can be called sea slugs. "
"Aren't slugs snails?" Fang Youqun said with a look of disgust.
"That's right, slugs are slugs, and sea slugs mean slugs in the sea." Xiang Yang said with a smile.
"How is this possible?" Fang Youqun stared at the southern dancer dancing in the fish tank. No matter how he looked at it, Fang Youqun couldn't connect this beautiful sea slug with a slug.
A slug is a terrestrial mollusk. Fang Youqun has seen a slug before. It is very disgusting, with a gray appearance. It leaves a slug-like mucus wherever it crawls. It looks like a snail without a back shell.
"Nothing is impossible. This is the fact. The Southern Dancer is a sea slug, which is a mollusk that lives in the ocean." Xiang Yang shrugged.
"However, unlike the grey slugs on land, these slugs living in the ocean vary greatly in appearance and color. Some are grey and look like slugs, while others are extremely gorgeous in appearance."
The so-called sea slugs are not just a certain species or genus, or even a certain order. As long as they meet the following three characteristics, they can be called sea slugs.
First of all, it is natural to live in the ocean all your life.
Second, like slugs, all sea slugs are hermaphrodites.
Finally, like slugs, they do not have shells like snails, and even some of them have shells, which are very fragile and poorly developed.
When Xiang Yang was in school, he once saw a sea slug that was completely red and shaped a bit like a cake roll. A tourist who was visiting the Maritime University offered the slug for 300,000 yuan, but the Maritime University refused to sell it.
Also, it's worth mentioning that all nudibranchs are sea slugs.
But not all sea slugs are nudibranchs.
Some sea slugs are very brightly colored and are often mistaken for nudibranchs, but they are not.
The most important way to confirm whether a sea slug is a nudibranch is to see whether it has feathery gills.
From this point of view, both the Southern Dancer and the Spanish Dancer can be considered nudibranchs.
Gao Chuang was very satisfied with this southern dancer. He nodded, clapped his hands and said, "Carry this sea tank onto the boat for me."
A crew member worriedly asked, "Boss Gao, this southern dancer was fished out of cold water. Can we keep her alive if we carry her aboard?"
Mr. Gao just spent 100,000 yuan to buy this thing, so the crew member couldn't help but be careful.
Moreover, ornamental fish are different from edible fish. Once they die, they immediately lose all value.
Xiang Yang laughed when he heard this, "Just lift it up in any direction, it will definitely not kill you."
Don't think that sea slugs are spoiled just because they are beautiful.
In fact, every creature that can survive in this dangerous yet magnificent seabed has its own magical powers.
Sea slugs are very resilient and are even as tenacious as slugs.
Regardless of whether the water is cold or warm, as long as it is salt water, most sea slugs can survive, and they can even survive in turbid waters.
As for feeding, it is even simpler. Antarctic krill is the Southern Dancer's favorite food.
We stayed on the ice for another two days, and each boat caught a lot of krill.
Nothing new happened in the past two days, and Xiang Yang was getting a little impatient.
That day, Xiang Yang put on his diving suit on the boat early in the morning, ready to go underwater to take a look.
"Xiang Yang, do you want to go into the water?" Gao Chuang saw this and directly grabbed Xiang Yang and asked.
Xiang Yang nodded and said with a smile: "I'll go down to the bottom of the water and take a look."
"Don't go down. The water here is more than 500 meters deep. You won't be able to land if you go down. Instead, you may encounter unknown dangers." Gao Chuang shook his head.
"Don't worry, I know what I'm doing. I'll go down and swim around." Xiang Yang said with a smile.
Gao Chuang nodded. Xiang Yang was not Gao Chuang's man, so if Xiang Yang insisted on going down, Gao Chuang could do nothing. Anyway, Gao Chuang had already reminded Xiang Yang that if anything happened to Xiang Yang underwater, it would have nothing to do with Gao Chuang. If Gao Chuang tried to stop him again, it would be a bit unreasonable.
Xiang Yang put on his helmet and went straight under the ice.
The Antarctic waters are not polluted at all, the water is very clear and the visibility is very high.
As soon as Xiang Yang reached the bottom of the sea, he could clearly see that he was in a large group of krill that looked like a whirlpool.
Xiang Yang ignored the krill and continued to dive underwater.
When they went down more than 400 meters, the surrounding sea water had turned completely black, but Xiang Yang could still clearly see every scene on the seabed.
In this dark environment, Xiang Yang discovered a huge ring-shaped mouth about the size of ten football fields. Inside this ring-shaped mouth, there lived a large number of crabs that even Xiang Yang did not recognize, as well as countless octopuses, starfish and other marine life groups, and various beautiful fish swimming around in the ring-shaped mouth.
