It may look as if this little one is practicing their dance moves — slow-slow-quick-quick — but we’re pretty sure fish can’t dance. It's more likely this bellowfish, or Notopogon sp., is taking advantage of snacks in the sediments, stirred up by the ROV's robotic arm during #uruguaysub200.

Do you ever feel like somebody's watching you? This goosefish — with a wide, flat head, gaping mouth, and an abundance of patience — belongs to the family Lophiidae, which are ray-finned fishes belonging to the order Lophiiformes, the anglerfishes. #uruguaysub200

The #UruguaySub200 science team observed charismatic animals, chemosynthetic communities & the formation of a beautiful, healthy reef that sent a clear message to the scientists: when disturbed habitats are given time to recover, healthy ecosystems can and do return.

For the #uruguaysub200 scientists hoping to document abundant wildlife in their deep waters, this small coral offers a message on a bottle, telling a larger story about life on the seafloor, 2,341 meters beneath the surface.

When chanchitos fly, it happens 2,340 meters deep in the Ocean! This is a sea pig, or chanchito, if you’re a member of the #Uruguaysub200 science team. Scotoplanes sp. is a genus of deep-sea sea cucumbers of the family Elpidiidae. 🎥ROV SuBastian / Schmidt Ocean Institute

Maxi was saying 1 fish they thought was conger, but now aren't sure, but idk if this is the one he means. I can't get a good image of the entire thing because they are lying inside the Desmophyllum. @schmidtocean.bsky.social dive 850 #uruguaysub200 #MarineLife
