Dangit, I haven't checked the Description yet, I was just looking at the mechanical bits.
Let's see, it's got:
I can see a few issues with that. For example, blue glaucus has jaws and a rasping tongue (a radula). It also isn't a coastal creature.
How about…
Description
A giant blue glaucus is an enormous nudibranch, a soft-bodied marine animal commonly known as a sea slug. Its elongated body is about three times longer than a human is tall, with a vivid blue and white striped back and a silver-grey belly. A blue glaucus has six pairs of appendages, three on each side of its streamlined body, which split into numerous 'fingers' called cerata; these paired appendages grow bigger towards the animal's head.
While most nudibranches crawl on the sea floor, a blue glaucus is a pelagic species that lives on the ocean's surface. Buoyed by swallowed air, it floats with the currents, swimming towards anything that smells tasty. Like all nudibranches, a giant blue glaucus is carnivorous. Its favorite food is giant jellyfish but it will attack any creature it can catch, using strong mouthparts and a serrated tongue to voraciously tear pieces from its prey.
Stolen Stings. A blue glaucus has the curious ability to eat a venomous jellyfish without being stung by its tentacles and then transferring its meal's stinging cells to the tips of its cerata. These sting-tipped cerata are the giant nudibranch's main defence. It swims too slowly to escape most predators and while its soft body can survive considerable damage it is rather easy to injure.
Let's see, it's got:
A 15-20 ft long soft-bodied, slug-like creature, with vivid blue and white stripes and a silver-grey belly, has six appendages with several 'fingers', or cerata, each. It lives in coastal waters. This huge nudibranch is c arnivorous; it enjoys the taste of flesh and will eat it voraciously with its rubbery mouth.
