>The Benthic comb jelly was discovered off the coast of Japan at the Ryukyu Trench. It was observed by the remotely operated underwater vehicle Kaikō on a dive into the Ryukyu Trench in April 2002, but the video and images of this unique bottom dwelling ctenophore remained "undiscovered" until several years later.
>The specimens were not brought to the surface and in any event, appear fragile and might not withstand the changes of pressure involved.
>Found at a depth of 7,217 metres (23,700 ft), it is the deepest dwelling ctenophore discovered
What the hell is this thing's problem?
