If we are able to grab this entire rock, how many species
will we have in the basket? Let's see, one, two, three,
four, five probably six, seven. I always enjoy getting
the first glimpse of a place that no one's ever been to
before. Oh, he's a pretty one, look at this guy. Beautiful
blue shrimp, I don't think I've seen anything like this.
Honestly, I have never seen a blue shrimp this deep or even
a thousand meters above this that's very unusual. Oh, tell
Chris it is a sponge isn't it. Yeah, and it's extremely
unusual, I have never seen anything like this and I don't
think anyone recognizes it. The smaller colonies of coral
have come out to be several hundred old and they are
significantly smaller than this one. Yeah, sure this is
the biggest one I have ever seen I mean. We are currently
in the northwest side of the wake island unit of the
pacific remote islands marine national monument and we are
finding lots of cool animals down on a seamount which is
called delilah.
