Awesome parasitic copepod on this macrourid. Something like Sphyriidae or Pennelidae maybe? Iirc those white strings are the eggs? @schmidtocean.bsky.social dive 565 part 2 #GalapagosVents #MarineLife

We can't forget about Beroe! Seeing one of these eat for the first time.caught me off guard. That animal is esentially a stomach with a pac-man mouth on 1 end. @schmidtocean.bsky.social dive 570 part 5 #GalapagosVents #MarineLife

Ostracods crack me up. I have no clue how they survive bobbing around looking like a snack. @schmidtocean.bsky.social dive 570 part 5 #GalapagosVents #MarineLife

I think this one is called Stereomastis sculpta. Look at the wee little tweezer claws! If you enjoy your face hair beware of that barber. @schmidtocean.bsky.social dive 575 part 4 #GalapagosVents #MarineLife

Here's a mirror pool. The reflecting effect of these shallow pools witnessed underneath volcanic chimney ledges (aka flanges) is created when hot, buoyant hydrothermal fluids flow outwards and up over the edge. From @schmidtocean.bsky.social dive 564 part 2. #GalapagosVents #MarineLife
