A Giant Sea Spider (genus Colossendeis), also known as a pycnogonid, found on the deep seafloor at depths between 2,200 and 4,000 meters. 🌊🦀 While some species are small, those in the deep ocean can grow over 50 cm (20 inches) across due to deep-sea gigantism. #ocean #deepsea #nature #wildlife

The deepest confirmed fish observation occurred at ~8,300 m. I know the shape behind it is another fish’s tail, but my brain insists it looks like the foreground fish is wearing a party hat. #deepsea #marinelife www.nhm.ac.uk/discover/new...

#Fish #vision #deepsea "The current dogma is that vertebrates develop cone-dominated retinas first, adding rods later. Here we show that larval deep-sea fishes have “hybrid” photoreceptors, expressing cone-specific genes in rod-like cells." www.science.org/doi/10.11….

Recently finished painting of deep ocean Abyssal Grenadiers, based on a photo taken in Antarctica early 2025 by @deepseauwa.bsky.social Titled “Ghosts, Memories and other Ephemera” 36x48” acrylic on canvas #deepsea #deepseacreatures 🐡🦑

An acrylic on canvas, painting, featuring pale, gray and brown, deep sea fish with a background of dark blue, teal and lime. Small shapes similar to butterflies float around the fish, these are created from the otolith outlines of this particular species of grenadier. 🦑🐡 #deepsea #deepseacreatures #deepocean #deepoceanscience #art #acrylicpainting

Yikes, that was unexpected 😱 A deep-sea anglerfish patiently waits... These fish typically use a modified dorsal fin ray that acts as a fishing rod with a glowing lure (bioluminescent bait) to attract prey close by. The fish can swallow prey up to twice its own size. #marinelife #deepsea

Osedax worms don’t wait for change—they dissolve obstacles. These bone-eating worms secrete acid to break down whale bones, unlocking nutrients for entire ecosystems. When the world falls, someone’s gotta turn it into something useful. 🌊🪱 #WormWednesday #DeepSea Image from @mbarinews.bsky.social
