Habitat: warm ocean waters are all this guy needs
Get a load of this ingenuity - the violet sea snail has a paper thin & extremely fragile shell that would break easily if it were stuck under water. Realizing this, the violet sea snail thought it would be wise to instead spend its life floating on the surface of tropical oceans. To do so, it whips up a froth of bubbles with its foot and then covers them in a mucus to form a bubblicious raft. Nice work, violet sea snail. Nice work.

That is absolutely adorable (for a snail, that is). On the first glance, I thought the transparent structure is its body. It would have been really cool if it was.
This is the coolest Blog EVER...i've spent all day reading your posts. Thanks for sharing the vastly animal beauty unknown for us.
