Blue dragon This strange little creature is the size of your thumbnail and can be found floating around bluebottles washed ashore or in the shallows of the water where bluebottles float.  They feed on the tentacles of the bluebottles and gain the "stinging" ability from the bluebottles...just like a real-life pokemon lol Blue Glaucus,Geotagged,Glaucus atlanticus,South Africa Click/tap to enlarge PromotedSpecies introCountry intro
