Although pretty in color, the sea slug is a rare animal that can be dangerous, said Jace Tunnell, a marine biologist and director of the Mission-Aransas Reserve. Tunnell said not to touch or pick up any blue dragons because their stings do hurt.
Officials said they found four venomous sea slugs known as blue dragons on the shore of North Padre Island near Corpus Christi last week.
Blue dragons feed on man o' wars, a type of venomous jellyfish, and suck in some of the poison from the jellyfish before releasing it onto anything it feels threatened by, Tunnell said.
