No, not a flower. But a beautiful juvenile vampire #squid (dorsal view) imaged by #EyeRIS. 2.6 cm in diameter between the outstretched tips of the arms. ❤️ #fineart #DesigningTheFuture2 @SchmidtOcean

From this perspective, it looks like the vampire #squid is wearing @Disney #MickeyMouse ears. 🤣 #notsofineart #DesigningTheFuture2 #EyeRIS @SchmidtOcean

The squid won, in case you were wondering. 😉

This was incredible to see in the #DeepPIV video feed. Alas, we weren’t recording. 😔
