There, there encountered a little ghostlike thing with eight legs.
The researchers weren't looking for ghost octopuses. They were collecting geological samples. But then they came upon this pale thing sitting on a rock.
The explorers said that this looked like a incirrate octopod, which doesn't have fins or cirri (filaments found on the creature's sucker).
They also said that unlike other octopods, this little Caspar-like creature didn't seem muscular.
The NOAA speculates that this is "almost certainly an undescribed species and may not belong to any described genus."
At heart, NOAA zoologist Michael Vecchione told National Geographic, we don't know much about what goes on at the bottom of the sea.
How long before some fine Hollywood studio decides that a new Caspar the Friendly Ghost movie should be set in the furthest depths?
I'd give it five days.
