Echinoderms, corals, sponge, etc... plus a skate egg. @schmidtocean.bsky.social dive 822 #MarDelPlataCanyon #MarineLife #conicet

No way! In a discord I said that looks like s slime star, then backtracked and said nah, I'm wrong lol thanks!

The team is seeing and collecting more of these unique-looking urchins. There are so many animals to look at. I could spend a ridiculous amount of time looking at every cm. @schmidtocean.bsky.social dive 822 #MarDelPlataCanyon #MarineLife #conicet

@echinoblog.bsky.social, a super cute sea star for ya! @schmidtocean.bsky.social dive 822 #MarDelPlataCanyon #MarineLife #conicet

Beautiful corals in this area & a brittle star waving hi. @schmidtocean.bsky.social dive 822 #MarDelPlataCanyon #MarineLife #conicet

These urchins blend in well with their environment. @schmidtocean.bsky.social dive 822 #MarDelPlataCanyon #MarineLife #conicet

Experiment they set down, couple corals, & a Galatheid. @schmidtocean.bsky.social dive 822 #MarDelPlataCanyon #MarineLife #conicet 🦀

Oh noooo! The deck on ROV Hercules came off 😬

🤣 I had to mentally get up and look, but my brain said, not until you've had more coffee!

Lol thank you for supporting my need to be a potato today 🫶

It is so odd and sad to see the stuff that winds up on the seafloor, and how long it stays there. I think a large amount of everyday ppl have a misconception that the ocean eats everything quickly b/c I hear it all the time 😢

"I didn't choose the Walteria life, the Walteria life chose me" @nautiluslive.org dive EXNA174 #MarineLife

This is from several years back. Idr any info to help you find it.

Irridigorgia are one of my favorite corals. The most beautiful coral I've seen was this amazing red one (👀 in comments). @nautiluslive.org dive EXNA174 #MarineLife

Sponge, a 'gorgia of some sort

Farreidae, bolosoma, dead sponge with ophiuroids & barnacles, chrysogorgia or similar? @nautiluslive.org dive EXNA174 #MarineLife

I asked, dive EXNA174

The trash isn't a can, it is a lip balm thing

Urchin, trash, benthic ctenophore on a stalked crinoid, sea star(I could look the name up, but i'm being lazy rn) From @nautiluslive.org dive idk the number. Marshall Islands #MarineLife

The edited videos I do are my version of an in-situ deep-sea animal ID guide b/c I have yet to find one. I remember the animals better w/ silly audio added. To the people who get it, thank you! To the ones who don't, go make your own, nobody is stopping you.

Cool! They collected it. The scientists sound so happy & excited. I love that

@echinoblog.bsky.social another nice urchin for ya! Though this one needs a bath. @schmidtocean.bsky.social dive 821 #MarDelPlataCanyon #MarineLife #conicet

Aplacophera? May not be a worm at all. Also a xenophyophore. First one of those this expedition. @schmidtocean.bsky.social dive 821 #MarDelPlataCanyon #MarineLife #conicet

Nice! Worms are the best

They've been grabbing pretty much everything. The science coming from all of will be awesome

Thanks! I wasn't sure at first, but when I zoomed those lines & the way it was sitting there gave it away
