There's something fishy about this build...

[JoJosReef]

I love how, even with the dress, you're still being modest and wearing the stars to protect JoJo's sensitivities.

That's why I'm still allowed to be in here. Very good!

Triplets.

"What was i supposed to do,
There was 3 of them..."

Famous last words

 

[Fish Styx]

Still have two left arms but at least the dress shows off my best attribute, the hair @Fish Styx

I'm conflicted on the dress covering your fin / tail.

 

[Slocke]

Your like a porcelain crab with those crazy wiper legs in the back!

Is this what you wanted??

Now we just need a slide show of all the sirens to nickelback

 

[Fish Styx]

Now we just need a slide show of all the sirens to nickelback

But shouldn't they be fanning you?

 

[JoJosReef]

Oh jeebus, there's my ab workout for the day

 

[Slocke]

The merman flicks his pink fans with a sly grin, eyes glinting wickedly as he leans closer to the sailors.

“Ahhh, yes… exposure to Nickelback, the foulest curse ever carried on the wind. The signs? Oh, they are dire, sailor, dire indeed:

• A sudden dull ache in the ears, as though barnacles have taken root inside your skull.
• The mind grows foggy, trapped in endless loops of bland riffs and lyrics that sound like they were scrawled on wet driftwood.
• Your soul feels heavy, as though chained to the seafloor, dragged down by mediocrity itself.
• The urge strikes to make pouty faces in photographs—symptomatic of their most dangerous toxin.
• Worst of all… a creeping despair, knowing you’ve heard the same song ten times in a row, though each swore it had a different name.

That, sailor, is the true torment of Nickelback: not death, but a life cursed with unrelenting banality.”

He snaps open his fans with a dramatic flourish.
“Tell me… shall I spare you, or must you suffer their greatest horror—hearing ‘Photograph’ echo across the waves?”

You keep getting more sailor women! Hairier, more arms, a dress, and they just come flocking to you.

A particularly striking member of the Pherecardia cf. striata [Edit: A.K.A. the Lined Fireworm]. This specimen is definitely much more blue than typical, but you can see a few similar examples in the links below:
https://www.hawaiisfishes.com/inverts/annelid_worms/neat_annelids.htmhttps://www.underwaterkwaj.com/uw-misc/polychaete/Pherecardia-cf-striata.htmThese guys are omnivorous, and may prey on invertebrates:

"Pherecardia striata apparently is chemically attracted to injured Acanthaster individuals and can be a significant source of their mortality by entering the body cavity through wounds made by other predators and consuming mostly soft tissues (Glynn 1984). In laboratory feeding trials P. striata showed strong preference for crustacean over Acanthaster remains, and gut contents included crustacean, polychaete, mollusc, and other unidentified animal tissue, and a few individuals examined were cannibalistic (Glynn 1984). Algae and detritus were found in greater frequency in gut contents than were animal remains, however, indicating a tendency toward omnivory (Glynn 1984)."*
