Glaucus is a nudibranch of the local Glaucidae, finding on Sunshine Coast, Queensland Australia, the exclusive ration of the genus Glaucus. 4cm long glaucus slug is distributed throughout the world’s oceans in tame and sizzling waters.
With the help of a gas-filled sac that is located in its stomach, G. atlanticus is producing to outlast afloat at the surface. Due to the stage of the killing sac the dejected sea slug thoroughly floats upside down. The dorsal surface, purely the tip and underside, is either blue or blue-white coloration. The true dorsal surface is completely silver-grey. This coloration is an example of counter-shading, which helps protect G. atlanticus from predators from both below and above.
