@mbari_news: We had to do it 😁⁠ ⁠ As we filmed this deep-sea octopus, Graneledone, gracefully walking along the seafloor over 1,500 meters (4,900 feet) beneath the waves, a rattail fish came in to hog the shot. Rattails, also known as grenadiers, are often attracted to the lights on our remotely operated vehicle (ROV). Rattails are very curious and will come to investigate any disturbance on or around the seafloor. Presumably, this helps them find food in the darkness of the deep sea. #ocean #Science #MBARI #DeepSea #DeepOcean #viral #fyp
