Relax, he’s very, very small
Or is it actually more disturbing that this deep-sea vent annelid worm is so tiny that a scanning electron microscope is needed to photograph it? Just makes it that harder to keep track of, doesn’t it? Thank God there are websites like SerpentProject.com keeping an eye on these underwater horrors for us.
Larger menace takes the form of the myctophid lantern fish below, “possibly a juvenile”, the divers tell us. Does that mean he’s going to get uglier? Taken in the Indian Ocean at a seemingly safe 2,000 metres. Slid down nicely with a little meunière sauce.
