GBI’ve never seen this behavior before. Only seen the Highfin Snake Eel (Ophichthus altipennis) as solo hunters. So, experts, are they feasting, trying to move into the same cave, or some sort of eel orgy? Love to hear your thoughts.

BRFound Umbraculum sp. #3 during the daytime which is already unusual for a mostly nocturnal species, but it was flipped upside down on the sand.
I came back the next day and it was still in the exact same spot. Gave it a gentle nudge back upright and it immediately started moving again.
Maybe it was just stuck… but moments like this are a good reminder how vulnerable some of these soft-bodied ocean slugs are out in the open.

BRSome eels don’t cruise the reef looking for attention… they disappear.
Certain species, like snake eels, bury their entire bodies in the sand with only their heads exposed. From a distance they look like tiny periscopes popping up from the seafloor. It’s the perfect strategy…..stay hidden, watch for prey, and retreat in a split second if danger gets too close.

SOYellowfin Fringehead (Neoclinus stephensae)
The yellowfin fringehead is a highly territorial reef fish that occupies small shelter sites such as empty barnacle holes and narrow crevices within rocky reefs. Individuals rarely stray far from these refuges, aggressively defending them from intruders with threat displays and rapid lunges. Distinctive fleshy cirri, or “fringes,” above the eyes help break up its outline, providing camouflage as it peers from its shelter✨

SAWatching this Gosline’s Fang Blenny leave and return to his wormhole really put a smile on my face. I absolutely love Fang Blennies, have been bitten so many times by them and somehow still get startled every time.

REFeeding frenzy! A swarm of hagfish surrounded and began tearing apart a fish carcass (possibly a North Pacific Frostfish) we encountered at Southern Hydrate Ridge (2500 feet deep, about 56 miles west of Newport, Oregon). This highly productive methane seep habitat hosts a diverse and abundant biological community, including rockfish, crabs, snails, sharks, and voracious, scavenging hagfish, often seen burrowing in the sediment or lying on the seafloor waiting for a meal. Although they look like eels, this ancient species of jawless, cartilaginous fish evolved ~550 million years ago during the Cambrian Period, before sharks and bony fish!

BRI’ll never get tired of finding frogfish, seahorses, and nudis out in the ocean, they’re the classics that always make my heart skip a beat. But I’ve also grown a real appreciation for the truly weird stuff too, like the Lion’s Paw Sea Cucumber (Euapta godeffroyi). Those feather-like tentacles feeling and exploring the world around them are way more mesmerizing. They don’t have eyes so their arms are how they sense the world😬👽

AMToday's Creature Feature: Honeycomb moray eel (Gymnothorax favagineus). These eels can reach 3 meters in length and are most active at night when they go on the hunt. Usually non-aggressive to divers but can attack if they feel threatened.

MBMeet the manefish: A rare and intriguing little deep-sea fish with dance moves 👋
We observed this manefish (Caristius macropus) 483 meters (1,584 feet) underwater during a dive in Monterey Bay in August of 2018. With a name like “macropus,” meaning large foot, this fin-tastic fish can really keep the beat.
Manefish grow to be 35 centimeters (13 inches) long, but this individual was likely a juvenile, measuring only about four centimeters (1.5 inches). This sighting was only the second time we have ever encountered this rare species. We paused to watch the fish dance for a few minutes, then continued our research mission.
Manefishes love to dine on siphonophores. Despite that, they have developed a mutually beneficial symbiotic relationship with the spaghetti siphonophore (Bathyphysa conifera). The siphonophore provides protection while the fish munches away on their amphipod parasites.
