Sea Angels and other bizarre creatures

A few highlights from an incredible collection of photographs by Alexander Semenov:

This fellow is labeled "Red Bull. Amphipoda Acanthonotozoma inflatum":




And the label for this creature says, "Hyperia galba inside Cyanea capillata":

  1. Another great post, love your work.

    "Hyperia galba inside Cyanea capillata" is a worm inside a jellyfish.

    Whether it's symbiotic or parasitic is unclear. It is however; very cool.

  2. It's like finding a Metroid in the real world.
