My aunt made a Celtic saltwater solution as a mouth rinse using boiled tap water and Celtic salt from a local health store. She hadn’t used it, covered it, left it to cool down, and forgot about it in her bathroom. The next day, she noticed an organism in the water and decided to keep it. It has grown considerably over the last two days and seems to feed off the salt in the water.

Any clue what it is? It moves fast and almost looks like it is dancing in the water. It is baffling the family group chat. (We live in London for context)

Hiking in Southern Ontario near Uxbridge, video taken date of post. Fish was at least 36" long. River was maybe 4 feet deep at its lowest.

Thinking it's some kind of trout but not 100% sure!

Caught bottom fishing in about 50 foot of water. It looks like a big sculpin, but I don’t think sculpins get that big

It was very slowly going in circles around the top of the water like this at an angle. It was alive because it eventually swam away.

Identified, high confidence What is this sea creature thing? Had a tube sticking out of the sand on a beach. I came across this video on Facebook with no likes or comments, so I really have no info.

Just really curious, couldn’t identify it on the sign with fish IDs right next to the river or with a couple google searches. Probably a couple feet long at least.

Identified, high confidence Found this off the coast of Northeast Florida. Iridescent in the middle and spiny on the outside. Looks like a shell but can't find anything that looks like it in any guides online.
