A basaltic rock protruding from the soft sediment bottom of Noyes Canyon provided the perfect substrate for a diverse collection of species to settle. Here you can see a collection of anemone species, including multiple venus flytrap anemones (Actinoscyphia aurelia), a bright orange brisingid sea star, a deep-sea octopus, and a grenadier fish that was curious about the camera. This image was captured during Dive 12 of the Seascape Alaska expedition.
