The leaf sheep may be one of the cutest and strangest sea slugs in the ocean.

It grazes on algae, steals the algae’s chloroplasts, and stores them inside the leafy branches on its back. Those chloroplasts can keep working, helping the slug partially use sunlight for energy.

The boxer crab may be one of the strangest tiny fighters in the ocean.

The decorator crab may be one of the most creative camouflage experts in the ocean.

It picks up algae, sponges, anemones, and other materials from its surroundings and attaches them to its body. That helps it blend into the seafloor, and some decorations may even help defend it from predators.

The lantern shark may be one of the strangest glowing predators in the ocean.

It has tiny light-producing organs called photophores along its belly and fins. That glow can help it camouflage in dim water, and it may also help attract smaller prey.

The sea robin may be one of the strangest hunters on the seafloor.

It uses leg-like appendages made from fin rays to walk across the bottom, dig through sand, and search for prey. In some species, those appendages can even help sense prey chemically — almost like tasting with their feet.

The bone-eating worm may be one of the strangest animals in the deep ocean.

Osedax lives on whale bones on the seafloor. It does not have a mouth or stomach. Instead, it grows root-like tissues into bone, helps dissolve it, and relies on symbiotic bacteria to digest the nutrients inside.

The horseshoe crab may be one of the strangest animals on the coast.

It is not really a true crab, and it has survived for more than 450 million years. Its blue, copper-based blood is incredibly important to medicine because scientists use compounds from it to help test vaccines, intravenous drugs, and medical devices for contamination.
