I thought this was the observation you were thinking of, but Haliphron doesn't have the fins on the mantle, correct? From @schmidtocean.bsky.social dive 395 #edgegbr #MarineLife

Bathypterois (grallator?) @schmidtocean.bsky.social dive 402 part E #edgegbr #MarineLife

This one is clearly a squat-body Tripod. These fish come with all kinds of different fin lengths & satallite dish antenna fins around their faces, but their heads seem to always have this particular pointy shape. @schmidtocean.bsky.social 396 part C #edgegbr #MarineLife

This Tripod has a bunch of parasites. @schmidtocean.bsky.social dive 399 part B #edgegbr #MarineLife

Solmissus biology info from Dr. Dhugal Lindsay from @schmidtocean.bsky.social dive 402 part A #edgegbr #MarineLife

This is the Solmissus excitement I love to hear! I had forgotten these brood their young until watching this dive again. Clip added ⬇️ of Dhugal discussing it. (audio defects come from the dive) @schmidtocean.bsky.social dive 402 part A #edgegbr #MarineLife

Heck ya, Paralepididae! The whole fish is fun to look at from the shiny eyes to the coloring & that little wiggly tailfin. @schmidtocean.bsky.social dive 402 part B #edgegbr #MarineLife

Neat! I didn't realize the bumps on the bell of Poralia were stinging cells! Toss the notion that the bells are the safe to boop. Best to just no touchy the squishy stuff. @schmidtocean.bsky.social dive 402 part B #edgegbr #MarineLife

Cute little Cranchiid. I appreciate the way these hold still for good zooms. @schmidtocean.bsky.social dive 402 part B #edgegbr #MarineLife

Dhugal provides info in this clip about how siphonophores swim. This one is Bargmannia. @schmidtocean.bsky.social dive 402 part B. #edgegbr #MarineLife

Dhugal Lindsay said Modeeria rotunda. If you want to learn a lot of great info about some midwater animals & learn IDs, the #edgegbr expedition is a fantastic place to start. Covid lockdowns provided some neat opportunities that year. @schmidtocean.bsky.social dive 402 part B. #MarineLife

I forgot to show y'all the blue corndog. I believe tunicate ended up being the consensus. They don't dive shallow often & to me it is an entirely different ocean up there. @schmidtocean.bsky.social dive 394 part A. #edgegbr #MarineLife

Chrionema from a 2020 @schmidtocean.bsky.social dive. 401 (part A) #edgegbr #MarineLife

Who doesn't love a Bathynomus giganteus? @schmidtocean.bsky.social dive 395 #edgegbr #MarineLife

Peeking at a Polychaete from @schmidtocean.bsky.social dive 398. #edgegbr #MarineLife

One from my favorites folder. I love it when Dr. Robin Beaman is on board, his voice is so calming & he knows so much fantastic stuff. Benthic ctenophore from
@schmidtocean.bsky.social dive 398, Noddy Reef. #edgegbr #MarineLife

Parapagurid 🦀 with zoanthids cliff jumping. The stunned fish at the end is funny. Idk why the video jumps cus during the live feed it did not. From @schmidtocean.bsky.social dive 398 #EdgeGBR #MarineLife

I think this is still a record depth for a cuttlefish. From @schmidtocean.bsky.social dive 401 #EdgeGBR #MarineLife

Fimbrora from @schmidtocean.bsky.social dive 396 part c #EdgeGBR #MarineLife

I think this one is Chiroteuthis. @schmidtocean.bsky.social dive 399 #MarineLife #EdgeGBR

I can't find the pic I mentioned, but the sear star was called a pin-cushion star (Haltyle maybe), & it was bigger & blue. During SOI's #EdgeGBR expedition or thereabouts. They found a red one as well. @echinoblog.bsky.social has a pic of a red one on his blog

Paraplepididae from @schmidtocean.bsky.social dive 402 #EdgeGBR #MarineLife (you aren't losing it, I messed with the audio)
