Neither slime nor mold, these single-celled organisms use a kind of external physical memory when navigating, much like a trail of breadcrumbs.
Read about some creepy experiments.

A female angler fish known as the Humpback Black Devil sports a glowing lure. See more bioluminescence in the abyssal Caribbean.

look at this fucking unique turtle

The Chinese soft-shelled turtle pees out of its mouth. I don't want to know how this will help people with kidney failure.

look at this fucking demon

Female black dragonfish—such as this newfound specimen of the Idiacanthus genus—are "fierce predators" of small fish. But "interestingly, male dragonfish lack teeth and a functional gut, and are thought to live only long enough to breed," biologist Malcolm Clark said.

look at this fucking scuba spider

This is one of few spiders species where the male is larger than the female. Also they spend their entire lives underwater. Cue horror.

look at this fucking symbiotic shitter
This bat sleeps in pitcher plants for protection, and the plant benefits from the nutrients in the bat's guano. Truly a horrifying relationship.

This cricket's testicles account for 14% of its body mass. For an average human male this would equate to a 22-pound sack.

look at this fucking transparent hermaphrodite
This 3cm carnivorous nudibranch - or 'sea slug' if you want to be a
dick about it - is laying quite an attractive mass of eggs.
Unsurprisingly-fitting marine biologist quote of the day:

look at this fucking bike race
I think the humans are losing.
The Christmas Island Crab migration sounds like a horrifying
experience your first time, but I guess every first experience with
crabs would be horrible.

look at this fucking nut cracker
The Pacu fish - related to Piranhas - sports creepy human-like teeth
that it uses to crack open fruits and nuts.
When swimming in Brasil, make sure you protect your delicate nuts and fruits.
