The tentacles look a lot like the feather boa cydippids Claudia Mills is working on describing. Are there any thoughts on whether these ones are also potentially in the Mertensiidae family?
Would love to see these beautiful ctenophores in person.
Meet Red X, an animal so new to science that it doesn’t have an official name!
We’ve collected these captivating comb jellies in Monterey Bay alongside our research partners at @mbari-blog. Together, we’re learning more about them—and the deep sea—every day!
You can see Red X today in our Into the Deep/En lo Profundo exhibit!
