๐ The longest "animal" isn't an animal. It's a siphonophoreโa floating city of thousands of clones.
โจ Glows, immortal, longer than a blue whale, with no central mouth.

Above the waterline is the gas filled structure or bladder called pneumatophore which acts as a sort of float and a sail. Below the waterline is a cluster of zooids of several sorts.

A close-up underwater photograph captures a male argonaut, a rarely seen pelagic octopus species, resting within the transparent body of a siphonophore, a colonial gelatinous organism. The argonaut is small and strikingly vibrant, with a deep orange-red, scaly-looking mantle and dark, expressive eyes. Tiny suckers are visible beneath its head. Its soft body contrasts sharply against the ghostly, flowing tendrils of the siphonophore, which appear almost like drifting silk in dark ocean water. The surreal setting gives a sense of floating in the deep sea, highlighting the fragile, rarely witnessed interactions of open-ocean creatures. The image is credited to Gregory Rothman, 2024, in orange text at the lower left.
A male argonaut, sometimes referred to as a paper nautilus. Thereโs a massive sexual dimorphism. The females can be 600 times more massive. This little guyโs good to go. โCome on baby! Please baby, PLEASE!!!โ

Many may not remember the DENDROGRAMMA mystery! This weird mushroom-shaped thing was described in 2014 as a "new metazoan" of unknown affinities! They were hinting that it might be a new phylum-but THEN 2 years later @drtimohara.bsky.social sequenced it and BOING! BENTHIC
