Deep sea creature's alien-like transformation

On a recent expedition exploring the Pacific Abyssal Plains, our research team captured footage of a 𝘊𝘪𝘳𝘳𝘰𝘵𝘩𝘢𝘶𝘮𝘢 𝘤𝘧. 𝘮𝘢𝘨𝘯𝘢 from the deep-sea lander camera at 4800m. This is a rare sighting of a deep-sea cirrrate octopod at this depth.

That's likely a Comb Jellyfish. They're bioluminescent and can produce rainbow colours and are usually found in the deep sea. There's 186 different types of these jellyfish, and the creature in the video is most likely one of them.

This remarkable creature isn't CGI! it's a Clione limacina ( known as a sea angel ) it's found in the cold waters of the North Atlantic & Artic Oceans.

Angler Fish Nightmare Of The Deep

Adolescence in a nutshell.

Proof that the ocean is home to creatures more fantastical than our wildest imaginations.

A rare encounter with a giant phantom jellyfish 990m (3,200 ft) beneath the surface in Monterey Bay.

Amazing and terrifying all at the same time, kinda like the the creatures in Sphere.

Deep Sea creatures are crazy it’s like another planet
