Cirrate Octopus

(YouTube link)

Combine a graceful sea creature in its natural environment with some ethereal music and you’ve got this video. From the YouTube link:

Making a rare appearance just in time for Halloween, this ghostly-looking orange cirrate octopus was recently observed by MBARI’s ROV Doc Ricketts swimming over the Taney Seamounts. These finned octopuses belong to an order of animals called Cirrata named for the presence of hair-like structures called ‘cirri’ which may aid these animals in the capture of food.

Puffer Fish - Soccerballs of the Sea

Puffer Fish or "Soccerballs of the Sea"..LOL. A Puffer fish bites diver on finger. The diver has some fun with the interesting sea creature, before releasing it unharmed.

No fish were harmed in the making of this video. LINK
