1. The blue dragon sea snail, also known as Glaucus atlanticus, is a rare species of blue sea slug that reaches 5.5cm in length and weighs up to 4g.
2. Despite its beautiful blue color, the blue dragon sea snail's sting is highly poisonous and dangerous to humans, with a toxicity similar to or greater than that of jellyfish.
3. The blue dragon sea snail survives by eating hydrozoa, which are toxic animals like jellyfish, as it has developed mechanisms like protective mucus and a hard outer covering to consume its prey's stinging cells without harming itself.

Rika Aprilia Putri 29 Dragon Sea Snail Blue dragons are part a group of creatures known as nudibranchs or sea slugs. There are several species of similar blue dragons in the genus Glaucus. The marine life with the Latin name Glaucus atlanticus is a rare species with a very small body size. Although the shape and color are very beautiful, it turns out that this snail has a poison that is very dangerous to humans. The danger of its sting is the same as that of jellyfish and scientists say it is even more dangerous. Blue dragon sea snails are also known as swallows and are 5.5cm long and 3.75cm wide. They can weigh up to 4kg. It can live up to a year in good conditions. It is silvery gray on its dorsal side and dark and pale blue on the belly. It has dark blue stripes on its head. It has a flat, tapered body and six appendages that branch into finger-like spines. Blur Dragon Sea Snails have tentacles that are useful for detecting food and avoiding predators. Their flexible body structure allows them to adapt to changes in the marine environment. They feed on hydrozoa (a group of animals in the same phylum as jellyfish), especially those that are highly toxic. Although their stings are extremely painful for humans, blue Glaucus and some other sea slugs are able to eat their prey's stinging cells without hurting themselves. To keep themselves safe from the venom, these animals secrete protective mucus and a hard, disk-like covering or barrier from within their skin. QnA Session Thank You
