INFO:

While exploring Unnamed Seamount 15 in Papahānaumokuākea Marine National Monument (PMNM) we were lucky enough to witness all types of animals from cephalopods to cnidarians. Members of our Corps of Exploration were delighted when both an octopus and a ctenophore floated in front of ROV Hercules’s camera at the same time. This combination perfectly encapsulates the diversity found in the deep sea. Want even more diversity? Keep watching for a quick glimpse of a crustacean and an absolutely stunning jellyfish.
