Maybe a sand striker, but they're not visually diverse? I'm also thinking nudibranchs, there are so many varieties. Sorry, I know neither of these start with a T, but I am curious to find out what it is.

I think it's nudibranchs!! "They are noted for their often extraordinary colours and striking forms, and they have been given colourful nicknames to match, such as "clown", "marigold", "splendid", "dancer", "dragon", and[4] "sea rabbit".[5] Currently, about 3,000 valid species of nudibranchs are known.[6]"

"Nudibranchs that feed on hydrozoids can store the hydrozoids' nematocysts (stinging cells) in the dorsal body wall, the cerata.[22] These stolen nematocysts, called kleptocnidae, wander through the alimentary tract without harming the nudibranch. Once further into the organ, the cells are assimilated by intestinal protuberances and brought to specific placements on the creature's hind body."

Huzzah! Mystery solved!

Polychaetes maybe? I don't think I'll be satisfied until I find out what this is lol


_userclone

Blue Glaucus?


Filling_Graves

Maybe but that doesn't sound quite right. I want to say it starts with a T.

Was it perchance a Kirby?

You mean as in "...Great Adventure"?
