If you now have AC/DC stuck in your head all day. You’re welcome. However, there really is no better theme song for Chrysaora achlyos, the Black Sea Nettle.
This past month, these giant black beasties have been spotted back off the coast of California. Though they don’t yet appear to be in the same numbers as seen in 2010, the summer is still young. Likely, they might just be here to celebrate our newest Deepling Rebecca’s arrival…Woot! Woot!
Either way, check out this breathtaking video freediver Chris Thompson snagged last week while adventuring through the Point Loma kelp forest. (For the full effect: Play this simultaneously)
“This beautiful cnidarian looks like a big piece of candy, but probably tastes like a light socket.” -Chris Thompson
Good, not to mention valid, description.
Beeeeautiful! So glad you found this awesome video Alex! And yes, they are all for me. Now if only they’d float over to Rhode Island…
No biggie. I will just put one in a box and send it to you. =)
Don’t even tease Alex. Don’t even tease. ;)
Wish you are the first to be eaten :P
..and someone will want this in their tanks(!?)
…can’t leave out recent release by Richard Cheese “Back in Black Tie” for those who can appreciate the fromage of “ill culture’.
Georgeus! thanks for sharing the amazing video!
