Most relaxed dude, in the whole world, eva.

Imagine you are so relaxed that you don’t even flinch when a slug crawls onto your face, and lays eggs there. You still don’t move. The eggs stick to your face. So what? You’d be the most relaxed dude, in the whole world, eva.

Meet the Ship Rock scorpionfish, the person holding this title. A nudibranch, a sea slug, climbed between his eyes, laid its eggs there, crawled away, and the eggs still stick there. Many thanks to Big Al for the spot during our dive at the Ship Rock in Port Hacking near Sydney.
