Sometimes turtles are found with an overly mossy/algae covered shell. Turtles in this condition are called “floaters.” This is because when turtles are struggling to regulate buoyancy and properly dive, algae will begin to grow on their carapace indicating something is wrong. Floating for a long period of time could be due to a sickness, injury or many other reasons. Radiographs, monitoring diet, and diving tests are crucial when examining this type of admission.

Baby sea turtle bath time! “Tater”, a juvenile loggerhead sea turtle enjoys a spa day at The Turtle Hospital! No barnacle removal here, just algae. When Tater returns to the wild, cleaner fish and cleaner shrimp will keep the algae down on her shell. @marathonturtlehospital #seaturtlespaday #seaturtleconservation #seaturtle #seaturtlelove #loggerhead #turtlehospital #compassioniscontagious #connectandprotect #mermaidlife #floridakeys @thefloridakeys #fy #fypシ゚viral

Algae grows on turtles’ shells naturally 🌱 However, it can hide infections or injuries, and excessive buildup can get in the way of the turtle’s ability to absorb UVB and heat while basking 🐢 In rare cases, algae will start to grow under partially shed scutes (shell scales), and shell rot may develop as a result😔 However, it is common to see green algae growing on the outside of the shell 🐚 📹 @ecoventurefl #lovefl #ecotours #springhunters #clearkayak #turtle #sharkid_faith

In March, ”Goldilocks”, a loggerhead sea turtle, was found stranded with a large fishing hook in her throat, weak, and covered in epibiota. Epibiota is algae, barnacles, and other small marine life that attach to a turtle’s shell when they begin to move slow due to illness or injury. In healthy turtles regular swimming helps prevent this buildup. Friendly reminder if you find a sea turtle on the beach, be sure to call us at 1-866-TURTLE-5 so our GCSTR permitted responders can assist. Thanks to o

Their fat is a greenish colour due to their herbivorous diet of seagrasses and algae. 🎥 Muneeb Mohammed #turtle #seaturtle #greenseaturtle #ocean #marine #marinelife #sealife #beach #paradise #tropical #turtles | Australian Geographic

Having a bit of algae on snails’ shells is usually no big deal, it’s mostly just a visual thing. But if there’s a lot of it, it can block oxygen around the shell and might slowly wear it down over time. When I see a snail with algae on its shell, I gently help them out using a soft bristled toothbrush without pressing too hard. . . . #aquarium #aquariumhobby #aquariums #aquatherapy #aquariumecosystems #aquariumfish #aquariumlife #aquascape #aquascaper #aquascaping #aquascapes #indoorjungle #indo

This green sea turtle is rubbing on the coral to scrape off any algal growth on her shell. This algae is exclusive to turtles, and can act as camouflage, or be home to various crustaceans. 📷: instagram.com/brentdurand. | OceanX

🐢 New Patient Alert: Meet Pugsley! 💚 Pugsley, a 7-lb juvenile green sea turtle, was rescued on October 3rd after beachgoers spotted her struggling against large, choppy waves at Opal Beach. Upon arrival to the Gulfarium CARE Center, she was extremely lethargic and emaciated, with moderate algae on her shell. Radiographs showed no internal hooks, and our veterinary team has begun supportive care, including fluids and vitamins, while we await bloodwork results to better understand her condition.
