The #VentUnderworld research team encountered this glass octopus (Vitreledonella) at ~875 meters deep a few days ago. This species is considered one of the least-studied cephalopods: most information scientists have managed to get is from dead specimens found in the stomachs of predators. Clearly the creature is named for its ability to be almost see-through. They switch between transparency and pigmentation to optimize camouflage.
