@kklljjo: While exploring the #deepsea of the #IronBottomSound, our #CorpsofExploration came “face-to-face” with this deep sea #crownjellyfish (Paraphyllina coronate). #ROVHercules gives us some stunning footage of this deep-sea scyphomedusan drifting in the midwater at around 650 meters deep. Scientist Dr. Dhugal Lindsay tells us that this individual looks to have been "chomped on" when it was younger, due to its seemingly uneven regenerated tentacles and asymmetry in its normally radial body plan.
