Happy World Ocean’s Day!

🌊 🪼 🌊 🪼 🌊 🪼 🌊 🪼 🌊

To celebrate here is the latest crazy sighting from the E/V Nautilus Exploration, a mysterious jellyfish found in remote Pacific depths. Dr. Dhugal Lindsay helped identify this jellyfish as a member of the order Narcomedusae, and an undescribed species within the genus Bathykorus. You love to sea it 🌊

giant siphonophores!!!

giant siphonophores are deep sea invertebrates that live in many deeper oceans all over the world, from iceland to chile!

they eat small crustaceans and small fish

siphonophores can grow up to 130 feet long!

they’re not single multi-cellular organisms, they’re actually colonies of tiny biological components called zooids!

giant siphonophores have hydrostatic skeletons

they attract pray with bright bioluminescent light!

there are over 175 species of siphonophores and they have very diverse differences

siphonophores are bioluminescent and can glow many different colours, mainly blue, red, orange, and yellow!

they’re so amazing :]

mandarinfish!

mandarinfish are native to the pacific, from the ryuku islands down to south australia

they grow up to 3 inches long on average!

these fish do not actually have scales! they secrete mucus from their skin, which keeps them clean

mandarinfish are very sky and often avoid other fish

the name of this fish comes from the vibrant patterns, which resemble the robes of an imperial chinese officer!

they are picky eaters an eat from a small range of food, most notably protozoans and worms :)
