Okay we've now seen a number of these and I think the mystery
will, will remain until a sample can be collected or until
someone you know will we can also send some of these images
which are really high quality to some coral expert and and
see if those could indeed be some sort of coral. So it was
just not described. I was not listening for just one tiny
moment of time. Is it a soft coral or is it not a soft
coral? So it's a possibility. Excellent. I'm glad to
hear it. At this point we still don't know. Yeah. We're still
not sure and we all really like a good mystery. I think that's
actually one of the things that's most exciting about
Okeanos Explorer. Yeah. Um expeditions is that there's
always at least one thing that stumps you and often it's more
than one thing for dive that stumps you but this is a great
one to try to figure out what the bumpy blue thing is.
So, the options are soft coral, tunicate, or possibly even some
sponge. Well, I can tell you it's not a rock. But I will but
I will definitely reach out to some of my sponge colleagues
here in the Caribbean. Blue biomat. Mm hmm. I gotta push
forward. I've been calling it Blue goo. Blue goo? Blue goo.
