Nettastomatidae? @schmidtocean.bsky.social dive 373 part A #visioningcoralsea #ozoceans2020 #MarineLife

Serrivomer. @schmidtocean.bsky.social dive 373 part A #visioningcoralsea #ozoceans2020 #MarineLife

I really want that to be a bizarre spiky fish but I'm pretty sure it is an urchin. Sure moved fast! @schmidtocean.bsky.social dive 373 part B #ozoceans2020 #visioningcoralsea #MarineLife

Whoa that is a spectacular black coral! @schmidtocean.bsky.social dive 373 part B #ozoceans2020 #visioningcoralsea #MarineLife

Could that be Epigonus @jethroreading32.bsky.social ? @schmidtocean.bsky.social dive 373 part B #ozoceans2020 #visioningcoralsea #MarineLife

Lovely sea pen. @schmidtocean.bsky.social dive 373 part B #ozoceans2020 #visioningcoralsea #MarineLife

Sponges for the Sponge folks. @schmidtocean.bsky.social dive 371 part A #visioningcoralsea #ozoceans2020 #MarineLife

Upright flat looking fish swimming by in the background. They didn't catch a zoom on it. @schmidtocean.bsky.social dive 371 part A #visioningcoralsea #ozoceans2020 #MarineLife

Chlorophthalmus agassizi? Wonderful colors on this one! @schmidtocean.bsky.social dive 371 part A #visioningcoralsea #ozoceans2020 #MarineLife

New records of fishes from the Coral Sea Marine Park, Australia - Coral Reefs With an area covering just under 1 million km2, Australia’s Coral Sea Marine Park (CSMP) is among the largest marine protected areas globally. Yet, the demersal deep-reef fish fauna of the CSMP remain...

I've been sharing stuff lately from the @schmidtocean.bsky.social #visioningcoralsea #ozoceans2020 expedition lately. Here's a paper on the fishes observed. #MarineLife

Beautiful black coral. Heteropathes. There's frequent updates when it comes to these corals so I asked Jeremy (Horowitz, 1 of the men talking) if that's still the name. Will comment later if he says it's different. @schmidtocean.bsky.social dive 390 #visioningcoralsea #ozoceans2020 #MarineLife

Etelis? More fish below, not sure if those are the same fish as this 1st one or different. @schmidtocean.bsky.social dive 391 #visioningcoralsea #ozoceans2020 #MarineLife

Closer look at a pygmy seahorse on a coral. @schmidtocean.bsky.social dive 385 part A #visioningcoralsea #ozoceans2020 #MarineLife

Shrimp and a little sponge inside a cowry shell? @schmidtocean.bsky.social dive 385 part A #visioningcoralsea #ozoceans2020 #MarineLife

I remember this Amberjack! When they swim back from left to right the 1st one has a huge hole plucked out of the side. The fish folks on twitter thought maybe from a cookiecutter shark. @schmidtocean.bsky.social dive 385 part A #visioningcoralsea #ozoceans2020 #MarineLife

Amberjack? @schmidtocean.bsky.social dive 385 part A #visioningcoralsea #ozoceans2020 #MarineLife

Glowing turtle of science. @schmidtocean.bsky.social dive 385 part A #visioningcoralsea #ozoceans2020 #MarineLife

I forgot they saw some cool Bathynomus during this expedition! Dear backyard doodlebugs, dare to dream. @schmidtocean.bsky.social dive 385 part A #visioningcoralsea #ozoceans2020 #MarineLife

Heck ya check out that fish! Peristediinae? @schmidtocean.bsky.social dive 385 part A #visioningcoralsea #ozoceans2020 #MarineLife

Worms, squat lobsters, snails, & itty bitty urchin on wood fall. @schmidtocean.bsky.social dive 385 part A #visioningcoralsea #ozoceans2020 #MarineLife

This little pink fish did not feel like offering a side profile. Little squat lobster on the sediment beside it. @schmidtocean.bsky.social dive 385 part A #visioningcoralsea #ozoceans2020 #MarineLife

Is that a sp. pf Grenadier? Shape looks similar but the color is different than any I've seen. @schmidtocean.bsky.social dive 385 part A #visioningcoralsea #ozoceans2020 #MarineLife

Poecilopsettidae? @schmidtocean.bsky.social dive 385 part A #visioningcoralsea #ozoceans2020 #MarineLife

With all those spikes I bet that ophiuroid can snag prey from the water column no problem. No idea what the black coral is (color not species). @schmidtocean.bsky.social dive 385 part A ##visioningcoralsea #ozoceans2020 #MarineLife

Fancy Nudibranch. @schmidtocean.bsky.social dive 385 part A #visioningcoralsea #ozoceans2020 #MarineLife

Plectropomus sp. @schmidtocean.bsky.social dive 385 part A #visioningcoralsea #ozoceans2020 #MarineLife

Very dark Lampocteis. My phone screen has been broke for the last 2 years so I can't tell if that is black or really dark red. @schmidtocean.bsky.social dive 387 #visioningcoralsea #ozoceans2020 #MarineLife

Shrimp Ocean Insitute's Doordash service. @schmidtocean.bsky.social dive 387 #visioningcoralsea #MarineLife #ozoceans2020

Pyroteuthis? @schmidtocean.bsky.social dive 389 #visioningcoralsea #ozoceans2020 #MarineLife

Rawr. Blind lobster? @schmidtocean.bsky.social dive 387 #visioningcoralsea #ozoceans2020 #MarineLife
