WEBVTT 00:00:06.116 --> 00:00:07.510 We’ve got a mystery here. 00:00:08.428 --> 00:00:14.100 This white thing, Shirely’s going, “that is not a sponge.” That does not look like a sponge to me. 00:00:14.956 --> 00:00:15.970 What the heck is that? 00:00:16.993 --> 00:00:18.280 That’s fascinating. 00:00:18.480 --> 00:00:22.150 I think it looks like a benthic ctenophore in the genus Lyrocteis. 00:00:22.630 --> 00:00:24.100 Have you ever seen anything like that? 00:00:24.300 --> 00:00:26.140 No. I’ve never seen anything like that anywhere. 00:00:26.669 --> 00:00:31.110 We see lots of ctenophores in the water column. They look like little ovals. 00:00:31.310 --> 00:00:36.540 This is an interesting group of ctenophores which is adapted to live on the substrate. 00:00:37.340 --> 00:00:37.780 Wow. 00:00:42.644 --> 00:00:43.260 What do you think? 00:00:43.981 --> 00:00:45.580 Another one of these anemones, maybe? 00:00:47.115 --> 00:00:48.390 Or it’s a fish. 00:00:50.434 --> 00:00:52.150 Nudibranch. 00:00:53.122 --> 00:00:55.580 Or something completely different. 00:00:55.780 --> 00:00:58.080 Could it be a gastropod? Could it be a sea slug? 00:00:58.821 --> 00:00:59.810 But it’s definitely in the Molluska. 00:01:01.282 --> 00:01:06.830 I like that we spanned four different phyla there before we could narrow this one down. 00:01:12.550 --> 00:01:13.380 What is that? 00:01:14.662 --> 00:01:15.560 It’s an anemone. 00:01:15.943 --> 00:01:16.950 No, it’s not. 00:01:17.150 --> 00:01:19.050 It’s called Alicia. Really? 00:01:19.846 --> 00:01:20.840 Fantastic.
