For this #CtenophoreThursday, a spectacular group of "Harp" ctenophores (Lyrocteis imperatoris) seen by @SchmidtOcean ROV while exploring Lihou Reef in the Coral Sea Marine Park off the east coast of Australia on the Queensland Plateau, depth 358 m below the surface 🌊🎼
[🌏] Magnifique ! Souvent confondues avec les méduses, les #ctenophores offrent un spectacle haut en couleur 🎨 Ils forment une part de la #biomasse planctonique des océans de la planète #futuraplanete #planete v/ @futurasciences cc @jblefevre60 @kalydeoo @FrRonconi
See that bill? Perfect for scooping up & eating... jellyfish & ctenophores?! Yep - they're predators of the "jelly web"! #Auktober (close up shot by M. Johns/USFWS CC-BY-NC 4.0)
