Floating through inner space ✨️ This species of jellyfish, Poralia rufescens, is one most people will never see. It lives deep below the sea surface to thousands of meters and is usually seen floating near the seafloor, sometimes we see hundreds of them on an ROV dive!⁠

MBARI researchers have discovered a remarkable new species of sea slug in the deep sea. Nicknamed the "mystery mollusc," the nudibranch Bathydevius caudactylus swims through the midnight zone and lights up with brilliant bioluminescence. Learn more: www.mbari.org/news/mbari-r...

Finished- last month? I think? been busy since the book deadline is in 11 days- Super Giant Amphipods - love how many colors one can find in reflective white shells under bright lights 😍 #SciArt #deepsea #deepseacreatures #unusualocean #supergiantamphipods

Cold seep community painting- I was thinking this would make a nice back cover for the book. My fav is the anemone because it’s so dramatic and was fun to paint. 16x20 acrylic on canvas #SciArt #deepsea #deepseacreatures #coldseep #acrylicpainting
