Enoploteuthid? The squid swuad appears to be sleeping so I can't double check if that's what sp. this is.

Heck ya!! Both Physonect (in front) & Calycophaoran siphonophores in one shot!

Fantastic Paragorgia
@schmidtocean.bsky.social dive 967 #samplinggap #MarineLife

Coral skeleton, Brisingid, Anthomastus, Sponge, Coral (Primnoid?), yellow Coral w/ this little clear critter. It reminds me of those Phaeodarian with the little hands but idk if that's what that is.

Well darn the slurp broke. I'm sure some duct tape can fix it. If you can't duct it fuct it!
@schmidtocean.bsky.social dive 967 #samplinggap #MarineLife

Paragorgia w/ crinoid, Ophiuroid, Barnacles, Victogorgia, & idk yellow one
@schmidtocean.bsky.social dive 967 #samplinggap #MarineLife

Found a nice coral garden on this rocky outcrop. Watch lead says corals Hemicorallium. Lots of associates. Urchins, Ophiuroids, Crinoids, etc...
@schmidtocean.bsky.social dive 967 #samplinggap #MarineLife

They're in Chaunacops territory. It went under a rock before they cool zoom but my guess is they'll see more.
@schmidtocean.bsky.social dive 967 #samplinggap #MarineLife

Maybe Apolemia & little silver fish behind it

Off bottom for today's dive. Next one prob later tonight. Sea cucumber, Cusk eel staring at a wall, Brisingid, Hyalonema & Chrysogorgiidae?
@schmidtocean.bsky.social dive 966 part 2 #samplinggap #MarineLife

Tretopleura?, Urchin, Cerianthid, Bamboo?(think I see nodes from a distance but when they zoom I don't see them), Plinthaster?
