Deep-sea Echinoderms from Canada (submersible ROPOS from what the tags say..)
This starts with Gorgonocephalus and proceeds to show deep-sea cucumbers (including some sea pigs!), various starfish, other ophiuroids and sea urchins...
(and on top of it you get some cool music from Kill Bill!)

Also kind of cool... video of the predatory tunicate Megalodicopia (not an echinoderm-but closely related to you and me). Most tunicates are filter feeders-but these have modified their "in" siphons so that they capture prey in the bowl-shaped hood...(and on top of it you get some cool music from Kill Bill!)

Cool! I'm a fan of the blog - thanks for linking. I work on deep sea glass sponges, but we always come across lots of other crazy critters. If anybody is interested in the sponge research we do, please visit my old master's research page at
