Double fun fact thursday since I missed the last one

The flying spaghetti monster is our one true god. Repent.

Bathyphysa Conifera

[chalcedonyclouds]

Alternative common names for Bathyphysa conifera (because I hate its current one):

- Cone Barer (from its taxonomic name conifera)

- Jewel Leek (translation of its Japanese name)

- Lanterneater (it’s been observed eating lanternfish) (I actually like this one a lot)

- Atlantic Angel (from its “wings”, or pteras, that differentiate it from other Rhizophysas)

- Studer’s Spiral (named after marine biologist Théophile Studer, who first wrote about many siphonophores including B. Conifera in 1878, as well as it’s spiral-shaped body)
