How awesome is the Ocean. Check out this beastie. 2 1/2 ft long.Recovered when an ROV (remotely operated vehicle) was recovered to surface.Definetly one of the coolest looking critters I'v seen.
It's just an overgrown Moreton Bay Bug, or the love child of a muddy and a lobster
Now that would freak me out more than a shark!
Big sea-lice...must've came out of the mouth of a whopping GT!
A mate in Houston sent me the same photos the other. Said it came up on the ROV from the sea floor (approx. 8500 feet) while setting the X-tree from the West Sirius rig in GOM
Poods
That would be a big eater. I've seen heap of these sea lice before fishing for deep sea crabs - usually they're about the size of your hand though ...
