This is cool, snailfish eggs on a sponge. If you zoom in you can make out the little eyes. I can't point you to a dive # but it was from a #OkeanosExplorer dive on 7-16-23. #MarineLife

Brittle star vs. Squid! Ophiuroids only appear dainty & harmless. Another cool moment from #OkeanosExplorer #MarineLife

This is an excellent example of the food chain as well as carbon exchange, well worth watching.

If you are squeamish skip this one. If not, keep watching to the end for a wild predation event! Down in the deep if it fits it sits... in your mouth. #OkeanosExplorer #MarineLife

This is still one of my favorite moments from Okeanos Explorer. I recall watch leads wondering why they were seeing so many ophiuroid bits scattered about & then they came upon this lovely culprit! #OkeanosExplorer #MarineLife

Bathysaurus mollis. I don't think I'll ever get tired of lizardfish. I wish it was the size of a sperm whale. #OkeanosExplorer EX1711 dive 11 #MarineLife

They said this one is a cusk. Idk if it's young, or that's just how this one looks? #OkeanosExplorer EX1711 dive 10 #MarineLife

Lovely zoom on a Halosaur. The heads on these are very distinct & pleasant to look at. #OkeanosExplorer EX1711 dive 10 #MarineLife

Lovely snot house. I don't see a larvacean in there, so it may be empty? Such odd little creatures with epic mucus that I think heard someone once say comes from their chin or somewhere unexpected like that. #OkeanosExplorer EX1711 dive 10 #MarineLife

Lithodes 🦀 having its own little clam jam. Watching them eat reminds me of Predator. I love it. #OkeanosExplorer EX1711 dive 10 #MarineLife

Black and white 10 armed echinoderm attached to the side of a rock on the seafloor with arms open exposing the little feathery tube feet on each arm and a star-patterned shaped mouth in the center.
Here's a photo of Holopus with the arms open and extended. I think this one is from a #OkeanosExplorer expedition in 2015 #MarineLife

Idk what's happening here. Are the worm things there to clean up that mushed stalk, or did they come from it? That's an odd one. #OkeanosExplorer EX2503 dive 16 #Papahānaumokuākea #MarineLife
