If you need to get your fill of weird and wonderful for the day without getting wet with muck diving, a new Nat Geo gallery of the strangest critters found in the Scottish sea might do the trick.

Other strange pics include horse mussels, sea-loch anemones and a variety of other invertebrates. But we’ll let you check out the pics for yourself.
