The floating laboratory research vessel called "Nautilus", used by the Ocean Exploration Trust, found something unusual in the Channel Islands off the cost of California. On Monday they posted a video captured with Nautilus' cameras that can peer deep down to the ocean floor.
"After sampling, it began to unfold to reveal two distinct lobes. This could possibly be a new species of nudibranch."
It could take several years for the scientist to determine if this is a new species or a spawn from Cthulhu. ;)
