Here are some wonderful and never seen before nature creatures under the sea.
Silent scream
When attacked by a predator, this deep-sea jellyfish (Atolla wyvillei) uses bioluminescence to “scream” for help. The amazing light show is known as a burglar alarm display. This jellyfish was photographed by the ROV Hyper Dolphin east of Japan’s Izu-Oshima Island, 2,640 feet (805 meters) below the surface.
Octopus in the Gulf
A deep-water octopus (Benthoctopus sp.) sits on the seafloo in the Gulf of Mexico’s Alaminos Canyon, about 8800 feet (2700 meters) beneath the sea surface.
Neighbor to an oil rig
This queen angelfish (Holacanthus ciliaris) was spotted near an oil rig in the Gulf waters off the coast of Texas.
Cooper of the Sea
This Gulf of Mexico amphipod, Phronoma sedentaria, is known as the “Cooper of the Sea” because the crustacean species lives inside a barrel-shaped creature known as a salp, also shown here.
King of the hydroids
Branchiocerianthus imperator is the largest known type of solitary hydroid. Hydroids look like flowers, but they’re actually animals with tentacles. This one was spotted by the HOV Shinkai 2000 in Japan’s Sagami Bay at a depth of 2,200 feet (670 meters).
Star of the sea
Asteronyx loveni is a type of brittle star that tends to cling onto another marine species known as the sea pen. This brittle star was spotted with its arms flung wide in Japanese waters off Sanriku, at a depth of 4,150 feet (1,265 meters).
Spiky spider
The spider conch (Lambis chiragra) has six spines on the lip of its shell. The shell’s pearly interior displays beautiful tints of orange and yellow. The species is listed as “vulnerable” on the Red List of threatened animals of Singapore.
Paper bubble
This red-lined paper bubble (Hydatinidae gen. sp.) was discovered in a sperm whale carcass in the Kagoshima whale fall, off Japan’s Cape Nomamisaki. The gastropod’s tiny eyes are protected by cephalic shields. The “paper bubble” is actually an extremely thin shell.
