[/quote] Don’t worry, maybe it’s only an ambush predator of other tiny invertebrates. [/quote] That doesn't change the fact that it defecates and triggers my allergies. If it were big enough to prey on me, at least its droppings would be big enough not to float around in there. I'd almost think that's preferable.

This species is known for its extravagant nighttime mating displays, in which they compose an elaborate song and sing it with the help of their fleshy throat-pouches. This, coupled with their bioluminescence, has led travelers to call them the "Symphony of the Silent Sea". god now I wanna make an world in which all the oceans have dried out and everything's a desert...
