Saw it on msnbc last night on Olberman. Have been trying to find it on the net all morning, to no avail. So I posted the question on photography and then someone told me you posted here.
Thanx
Is it not one of the most wierd things? It kind of looks like a tick with long hairy legs :scared: ..........Peace

Definitely nothing to do with the hurricanes
There are constant ongoing deep sea expeditions both ship and trawls to deep sea submersibles. We've been doing it for decades but the deep sea is still considered virtually unexplored. Which means that we are missing out on the majority of life on the planet.
What we do know is that the "deep sea" abyssal plains (not hydrothermal vents which get a lot of attention) cover the majority of the planet. And that one of the most dominant megafauna (large animals) in the deep sea are BRITTLESTARS which means that BRITTLESTARS are one of the most common animals on the planet.
Excuse this little dance:
I studied deep sea brittlestars for quite awhile. The deep sea is a fascinating place
The reason this one is so unusual is not that it is a new species (there are loads of new species every year) but it is so wacky it is a new family of animals. That is much less common...
