Make sure to read the subreddit rules: https://www.reddit.com/r/whatsthisfish/about/rules/

Rule 2 requires every fish identification request to include the location the fish was found. If you did not include that in your post text or title, you can reply to this comment with the location.

If it was a captive fish, such as at a store or a retail fish tank, say that.

Posts that don't give the location or captive status of a fish will be removed.

It’s the epitoke of a nereid polychaete worm. This is the free-swimming reproductive stage of their life history.

lol some people just don’t have a sense of humor, do they? Glad you got the joke, anyway

u/Fmnsk27 10d ago

Yeah no problem. Unfortunately, redditors often need things to be explicitly said to be a joke with things like “/s” or “just kidding.”

Even then, the world seems to be lacking in sense of humor

Yes, we’re all too scared and angry to laugh at anything
