Ateleopodidae (jellynose) from @schmidtocean.bsky.social dive 601 part 2. That's a cute little fish. I think the pink ones might be Anthias? #CliffReefs #MarineLife

One of the coolest sharks @schmidtocean.bsky.social filmed! They saw this Rough shark (Oxynotus?) in Galapagos during dive 582 part 2. I think it ended up being a range extension iirc. #CliffReefs #MarineLife

Here's a sand dollar (Clypeastroida?) alive doing its thing. I've found many tests washed up at the beach but have yet to see a living one. @schmidtocean.bsky.social dive 599 #CliffReefs #MarineLife

🦈 Elasmobranch alert! 🦈

Roughshark filmed during #CliffReefs expedition in 2023. Dr. David Ebert tells us, “This is very exciting since it looks to be a new species AND it is a first record from the Eastern Pacific for this genus." Read full caption on Instagram:

A rough shark from #SchmidtOcean dive 582 part 2 during their #cliffreefs expedition in Galapagos on a seamount east of San Cristobal Island. I believe this sighting was a range extension for this species. #MarineLife

In this video Alex says maybe 7-armed octo, but I think I see 8, but hard to tell. From #SchmidtOcean dive 578 in Cacho De Coral, Galapagos during the #cliffreefs expedition.
