We just can't help ourselves—the deep sea rocks. 😜⁠

⁠MBARI's remotely operated vehicle Doc Ricketts recorded this underwater scene about 1,230 meters (4,035 feet) below the sea surface during a dive at Sur Ridge. ⁠

The bright orange spots scattered around the rock are known as flytrap anemones. We often see flytrap anemones up to 30 centimeters (one foot) across growing on exposed rock outcrops on seamounts and deep-sea ridges, where currents are relatively strong. Although some scientists have suggested that flytrap anemones eat bits of debris carried on the ocean currents, their body shape suggests that they feed on small animals, such as shrimp, that happen to swim by. Flytrap anemones were recently discovered to release bioluminescent slime when disturbed.
