The floating laboratory research vessel called "Nautilus", used by the Ocean Exploration Trust, found something unusual in the Channel Islands off the cost of California. On Monday they posted a video captured with Nautilus' cameras that can peer deep down to the ocean floor.
"After sampling, it began to unfold to reveal two distinct lobes. This could possibly be a new species of nudibranch."
It could take several years for the scientist to determine if this is a new species or a spawn from Cthulhu. ;)

Wow! Nudibranchs are some of my favorite marine species! Joy!!! thanks for the sharing, namaste :)
Me too! Cant decide between them or frog fish or spanish dancers! #scuba
Oh wow! I remember seeing some of their early rare captures of this fish, the video is really funny if you wanna watch it:
This is so awesome! I wonder what else we will see over the years, hope its not something scary. :D

Pokemon Egg for sure =)
The ocean is a strange place...
Wow! Definitely an egg sack, the mother was probably devastated :-)

That was so EPIC! holy shit, i don't know if i'm excited about the new purple thing or just how epic their submarine thingy is.
Nautilus is able to surprise!
It's clearly the alien orb thing from the 8th dimension which Buckaroo found in The Adventures of Buckaroo Bansai Across the 8th Dimension
We want to discover the space but yet we know nothing what's in our oceans
Tru dat
Definitely a new species. Nature will create new wonderful inhabitants of this planet long after we'll be gone. One way or another... I mean us :)
You know what? I'm feeling good, so upvotes for (most) everyone!
'Hey guys, I've never seen that before. Let's poke the shit out of it.'

Cool! Can I have tree fiddy?

I did a search before posting and nothing showed up. The system isn't perfect and I guess it balances out over time, at least a little. I've had my post, ideas and original content duplicated by others hours, days, weeks, months later and watched them earn around $50,000 since I've been here. The latest one earned $5,500+ to my $80 for just rehashing my story hours later. There were no mourners when it happened to me.

I think I'll give myself another $3+ for investing early in an awesome platform! :)

How does that work exactly? New here, really interesting site, but I still haven't got my head wrapped fully around the concepts.
Why stop there, here Tuck, have some more!
I just gave you guys about $3.00. That felt gooooood!
