Sea angels effortlessly capture hearts with their fluttering wings and ethereal transparency. 

Detailed underwater photos that show off their celestial features are actually closeups – sea angels are surprisingly tiny, often smaller than your thumbnail! 

You can meet these tiny but mighty swimming snails and other captivating deep-sea animals on exhibit at the Into the Deep/En lo Profundo exhibit here at Monterey Bay Aquarium.

The wonderful Glass Octopus. Living at depths of around 3000 ft and only being about a foot long, these strange little creatures are rarely seen by scientists.

I drew this piece in 2019, and although I can see lots of mistakes and imperfections, it's still one of my favourite artworks

Guess hoo-hoo it is 🦉

The owlfish, named for the size of its large eyes relative to its head, lives throughout the North Pacific. These species are in the family Bathylagidae and are relatively common in the deep sea, living at depths of over 6,000 meters (19,685 feet). In Monterey Bay, we observe these fish between a few hundred meters to over 2,000 meters (6,560 feet).
