re: Amazing video; but crinoids not sea spiders

Got it, Andrew... thanks!

Discovery of antartic deep dwellers. This 'eelpout' caught my eye: "The fish's tiny eyes may pick up bioluminescent signals from squid and shrimp, while its snout is studded with sensory pits for detecting the movement of prey in the darkness, Møller said.

Deep-sea eelpouts have watery, jelly-like flesh, probably due to their sluggish lifestyle and as an adaptation to pressures exerted on their bodies, he added."

Thanks Tafkase and I agree with Buck.
