In case you missed it the 1st time here's the weirdest & best octopus IMO. Amphitretus! 2nd clip 👇 for a look at the arms & beak. From @schmidtocean.bsky.social dive 819 #taludcontinental4 #mardelplatacanyon #MarineLife

This #MarDelPlataCanyon seastar, despite all the obvious signs, does not have a big butt. The animal does resemble the famous SpongeBob character, Patrick Star.

"Viewers watched coral fields, rare invertebrates, and odd creatures glide through the dark. Early counts suggest around 40 organisms may be new to science, a list that spans anemones, sea cucumbers, sea urchins, snails and crinoids."

¡Qué lindo!

Every bit of this south wall in the #MarDelPlataCanyon is vibrant and alive. Read and imagine how a tiny sponge larva or other stationary animal finds a home in a place like this: www.instagram.com/reel/DN37jxs...

“Now the sea
is in me: I am the fish, the fish
glitters in me; we are
risen, tangled together, certain to fall
back to the sea.”

fr Mary Oliver’s, “The Fish,” about catching & eating her first one. ROV pilots filmed this amazing fish more than 2400m deep in #MarDelPlataCanyon #TaludContinental_IV

Clearly amazing appearance around 888m in #MarDelPlataCanyon: Amphitretus sp. This telescope octopus has adapted to live in a place where there is nowhere to hide but in plain sight. Deep gratitude to @autsquidsquad.bsky.social for species ID. Description on Insta: www.instagram.com/reel/DNittGh...

There was no audio on at the time they filmed this Gonatus, so I fixed it. @schmidtocean.bsky.social dive 823 #MarDelPlataCanyon #conicet #MarineLife

This is neat. Has that radiolaria shape, but I'm guessing it's a sponge, tunicate, or cnidaria? From @schmidtocean.bsky.social dive 825 part 2 #MarDelPlataCanyon #MarineLife

Flying into the weekend! They are, in fact, swimming, but it still looks as if they are flying in the most fabulous way. This squat lobster stuck the landing on the south wall of the #MarDelPlataCanyon during a recent ROV dive, part of the #TaludContinental_IV expedition in Argentina.

Not sure what I'm looking at. Sponge? Old coral with another animal growing on it? Bunch of amphipods on it. @schmidtocean.bsky.social dive 825 part 2 #MarDelPlataCanyon #MarineLife

Missed the last 2 dives, but here's the Stygiomedusa they saw during @schmidtocean.bsky.social dive 823 part 2 #MarineLife #MarDelPlataCanyon

Octopus locomotion 🐙

We believe this warty deep-sea octopus to be in the Graneledone genus of octopuses, and ROV pilots collected this footage in the #MarDelPlataCanyon in Argentina.

This morning as #ROVSuBastian was ascending from dive 823 at #MarDelPlataCanyon it encountered a beautiful Stygiomedusa gigantea "giant phantom jelly" at 1014m. Here's a clip

Periphylla with a bunch of isopods or amphipods? I haven't seen this jelly covered in critters like this before. @schmidtocean.bsky.social dive 823 #MarDelPlataCanyon #MarineLife #conicet

An international team of scientists is documenting remarkable biodiversity and exploring how powerful ocean currents support the #MarDelPlataCanyon ecosystem. Learn more via our latest #TaludContinental_IV expedition in Argentina! 🇦🇷
