Benthic ctenophore – an unidentified species. This photo was probably taken at night. It shows beautifully the two branched fishing tentacles extended, one extruded from either end of the body.

Ctenophora: Platyctenea. Bottom-dwelling ctenophore (= sea gooseberry). Note the two extended fishing tentacles drifting about with the water current. These tentacles suggest this photo was taken at night – they are normally retracted during the day.
