Project FAQ
Back this campaign and the Short Circuit campaign by CZGoldEdition before both campaigns end to qualify for our special cross-collab incentives.
A nudibranch is a type of soft-bodied, marine gastropod mollusk belonging to the subclass Nudibranchia. These creatures are often referred to as sea slugs, although not all sea slugs are nudibranchs. They are known for their extraordinary colors, intricate patterns, and diverse shapes, making them a favorite subject for underwater photographers and marine enthusiasts. Key Characteristics: 1. No Shell: Unlike many mollusks, nudibranchs lack a protective shell as adults. 2. Bright Colors and Patterns: Their vivid colors often serve as a warning to predators about their toxicity or unpalatability, a phenomenon known as aposematism. 3. Gills and Rhinophores: Nudibranchs have external gills for breathing and sensory organs called rhinophores to detect smells and chemicals in the water. 4. Size: They range in size from a few millimeters to over a foot (30 cm) in length, depending on the species. Habitat: Nudibranchs are found in oceans worldwide, from shallow coral reefs to deep-sea environments. They are particularly abundant in warm, tropical waters but can also be found in colder regions. Diet: Most nudibranchs are carnivorous, feeding on sponges, hydroids, anemones, or other small marine organisms. Some species can incorporate toxins or stinging cells from their prey into their own bodies for defense. Reproduction: Nudibranchs are hermaphroditic, meaning they have both male and female reproductive organs. They typically lay spiral-shaped ribbons of eggs on surfaces like rocks or coral. Fun Fact: Some nudibranchs, such as those from the genus Glaucus, can float on the surface of the water and prey on venomous creatures like the Portuguese man o' war, incorporating their stinging cells for self-defense. Nudibranchs are not only fascinating for their beauty but also contribute to scientific studies on ecology, evolution, and marine biodiversity.
BackerKit FAQ
BackerKit Crowdfunding is an all-or-nothing collaborative funding platform. Creators share their project ideas and set a funding goal with a deadline. Backers pledge money to help make the project possible.
If the project meets its goal by the deadline, pledges are charged and the creator moves forward. If it doesn’t, no one is charged.
Backers often receive special rewards for their support, such as:
- Exclusive products
- Bonus rewards for backing related projects
- Discount pricing
- Behind-the-scenes updates
- Creative input opportunities
Pledging in crowdfunding is a commitment to support the creation of a new product or project. Unlike a traditional purchase, you're not buying an item that already exists. Instead, your contribution helps bring a creative idea to life, and in return, you typically receive rewards (such as the product itself) as a thank you for your early support.
- Select a pledge level with the reward(s) you would like to receive
- Select any add-ons
- Confirm your pledge!
- You are charged only if the campaign meets its funding goal.
- Charges happen when the campaign ends, not when you pledge.
The creator will send you a survey to:
- Ask you for more information about your rewards (selecting options, etc)
- Collect shipping information
- Offer additional items you may want to add to your pledge
- Collect shipping fees (if applicable)
The survey will be sent to the email address we have on file with your pledge. Additional payments are charged when you complete the survey.
Only the project creator and the BackerKit Support Team can see your pledge and contact information. Other backers and the public cannot see your individual pledge amount or personal details.
You can change or adjust your pledge level and add-ons before the campaign ends. After the project concludes, cancellations or changes are at the creator's discretion and may depend on what stage the project is in.
Overtime Mode extends your campaign past its original end time to give backers a final chance to make their pledge. It will add an additional 10 minutes past the end time as long as pledges keep coming in. The campaign will end when there is a 10-minute period without any new pledges.
