“Hypnosis – Costasiella Usagi“
The Story:
A tiny photosynthetic sea slug (Costasiella Usagi) glides over an algae, crossing delicate spirals of egg masses laid by other species. On tropical reefs, it’s common for many different creatures to share the same fragile stage for feeding and reproduction, each finding its own place in a delicate, almost hypnotic, choreography.
