- [Scientist] Whoa.
- [Scientist 1] That looks good.
That's the edge of the cliff
- [Scientist] That's very cliffy.
Yeah. There's not much.
- [Scientist 1] Oh wow.
- [Scientist 2] Nice peragorgeo.
Woo, we're getting a few.
- [Scientist 1] It's a very floofy peragorgeo, it is
- [Scientist 3] Oh my goodness.
- [Scientist 2] It is kinda floofy.
It is not, yeah.
- [Scientist] All the polyps are out.
- [Scientist 3] We can zoom in maybe,
and fill the screen with red and give us a polyps shot.
- [Scientist] Yes.
Basket stars.
So this is another Heterokont.
- [ROV Pilot] It looks great.
- [Scientist 3] That's a big crab for a little sponge.
- [Scientist 2] Yeah. Very cramped.
- [Scientist] Yeah.
I think that's another one of the Paralomis crabs.
- [Scientist 1] Yeah.
- [Scientist] Paralomis Multispina.
- [Scientist 2] We're going to zoom in on the base
right between those two corals.
- [Scientist] Sure.
- [Scientist 2] Well we've got a shelf span here on the left
and another little duct of crenoan coral on the right,
down between us.
- [Scientist] That's what you wanted to see,
is that correct?
- [Scientist 2] Could it be a giant grenadier
that's actually the common name of one species
coming right on in.
- [Scientist] They got creative with that one
- [Navigator] Contact
- [Scientist] Right?
- [Navigator] So, the breeze seems to be blowing to the East
here along the cliff
and that's the way we want to go to, isn't it.
- [ROV Pilot] Yes.
- [Navigator] Figures.
That little shrimp is hanging out.
He wants to come out of his house.
- [Scientist 2] Is he like dodging the current?
- [Scientist] It's like coming out of your house
in a hurricane.
- [Scientist 2] Yeah right.
- [Navigator] Okay, speaking of current,
that's, it's what got us.
I can zoom out.
- [Scientist 2] You see how this one has a different rim
than that last barrel we were looking at.
- [Scientist] That dirty brown fringe at the top.
- [Navigator] Ah, there's the resident shrimp.
- [ROV Pilot] Yeah, little thing hanging out in there.
- [Scientist] All right, got some good shots.
- [Scientist 1] They make cool little apartments,
you never know what's going to be in a sponge.
They provide.
I think that might be a roughtail scape.
- [Scientist 2] Well, I can see
all the spines and thorns he's got.
- [Scientist 1] Spines, many rows of spines
on both wings and then all down his back.
That looks like a grew Tanner crab.
- [Scientist] Oh, these are tanner crabs.
Those are tanner crabs, maybe not grills,
He's something different.
He's got a bit, his rostrums a bit different.
- [Scientist 1] It's like they're in a waterfall.
- [Navigator] Total waterfall.
- [ROV Pilot] Can't go chase him.
- [Scientist] Huh.
- [ROV Pilot] Okay.
- [Navigator] Okay, we're back in the box there, let's go.
Oh, this is going to be a kind of a rough landing site.
Look at that coral for a minute.
- [Scientist 1] Look at that tiny shrimp you can see
hanging on to the coral.
- [Scientist] Oh yeah.
Hey little guy.
- [Scientist 2] Super tiny, oh he's just a little guy.
- [Scientist 2] I keep giving them all genders, little guy.
- [Scientist 1] The camera's pretty hermaphradotic.
Some of them.
- [Scientist] The camera's pretty amazing.
- [Scientist 1] Yeah, it is.
- [Scientist] Beautiful, thank you for the zoom.
Watch this guy.
- [Navigator] Looks like it has an isopod on it or something
on it's dorsal side.
- [Scientist 1] Oh yeah.
- [Navigator] There's a small critter.
- [Scientist 3] That white mass.
- [Scientist 1] So there are actually
two species of thornyheads
that are found off the West coast here.
There are longspine thornyheads
and shortspine thornyheads, and ...
- [Scientist 3] [Inaudible]
- [Scientist 1] The feature there
that you can see on this guy
is the third dorsal spine.
On the longspines it is much higher
than the rest of the dorsal fin
and he's going to turn profile just so we can see that.
- [Navigator] The, This one digging in a little
to not fly away with the current.
- [Scientist 2] Yes
- [Scientist 1] Holding on.
- [Scientist 2] Yes please on the zoom
- [Scientist 1] and these paragorgeo are so floofy.
- [Scientist 2] Yeah, all the polyps out.
I'm not used to seeing them all so passionately out.
There's just so much food floating by.
I mean, what are they going to stay home.
- [Navigator] And we're good.
- [Scientist 2] And very knobbly too.
Usually the stocks of peragorgeo are quite spindly, so.
- [Scientist] Yeah.
- [Scientist 2] This is a different morphology for sure.
- [Navigator] It's going to do a fly by for us.
- [Scientist] Yeah, I love that.
It's so beautiful.
- [Navigator] It would make a great gif.
