Has anyone seen this creature before? This is wild…

Bouta get the power of the titans

It is a salp.

The better question to me is, why would you mess with it while in a kayak? What could you do if a big toothy mouth was at the end, and you got it ticked off?

Thought it was an oarfish at first, then the guy lifted it up for a moment above water… I believe that’s a praya Dubia. A colony of small jellyfish like organisms that link together, records detail some colonies being longer than adult blue whales!

Shrieking eel

I believe that's an Oarfish.

Oarfish…..on his oar

Probably an oarfish

You stupid fucks it’s not an oarfish

There are two of these living in a puddle just off Carlisle Circus in Belfast.

oar fish?

It’s a sea testicle.

Fucking Kraken

It’s CALVIN and if you know then you know!

Siphonophor or something like that

That's a Siphonophore

I thinks it's a mammoth Coney Island White Snake. Very rare! It's genus is comdomus maximus.

That’s the rare translucent salt water nope.

Looks familiar

What kind of giant ass jellyfish is that?

A salp.

Is that an Oar fish?! 🤭

Oarfish

Could be a long type of Siphonophore. Basically a interconnected colony of multiple small organisms that make up one big one. Very cool!

That interconnected colony concept is mind-blowing. Nature really nailed the micro-services architecture there!

@grok what the hell is this in this video?

That's the " WE'RE ALL GONNA FUCKING DIE BY TERMINATORS" DOOMSDAY DEATHFISH

yes, ive seen them during dives. they are SALP. they are many creatures

That’s a huge used whale condom.

That’s whale sperm

Infamous bubble wrap fish

It’s a salp chain

I mean I've never seen one but I'm telling you now, from a distance that would have definitely looked like a massive tentacle and I've seen eye of the beast way too many times to check it out.
