I wonder if it's some giant amphipod? Don't the build dirt tubes sometimes?

B/c it is now happening again: if you are a man & ask me to follow you back & I do, and then you DM anything other than shit about marine science I just want you to know: I'm not having sex with you. Ever. You suck. Does this look like a fucking Tinder profile to you?! 🙄

It's okay, sometimes I rush and type things all weird. I meant that a shrimp caught a fish and then it opened the gut of that fish and dug another fish out of the gut of the fish it had eaten recently.

They are talking about the Spanish Dancer on the Nautilus dive. Here's one from a 2020 during @schmidtocean.bsky.social dive dive 337. #visioningcoralsea #MarineLife

It is tiny, white, and floats by on the the left. Tiny sea cucumber or sea pig? @nautiluslive.org dive L1008 #CookIslands #MarineLife

The current watch lead on the Nautilus dive mentioned an observation she saw of a shrimp eating a fish from another fish. It was a gnarly moment. Here ya go

Cool! Thanks! There haven't been many stars down here. I am really enjoying seeing the differences in the animals compared to the ones more around 1200m
