Blue Sea Dragon

I came across this incredibly rare find when walking along the beach. It is an extremely poisonous
Blue Sea Dragon, stranded in a small puddle at low tide.
This creature kills blue bottles and absorbs their poison.
I wanted to return it to the sea but luckily my son dissuaded me. I realised my good fortune when I returned home and researched my find.

Nikon D600
1/400s f/5.6 at 300.0mm iso400 full exif

other sizes: small medium large original auto

I usually pick up rubbish as I walk and take photographs. Initially I thought it was a bottle top...until it wiggled.

I've read about this blue dragon before. I have nevr seen a photo of one. You were extremely lucky to find it and lucky that you have a smart son.

It looks like a piece of jewelry lying on the sand.
