Have you guys seen this?
Weird sea creature caught on film by an ROV.
A not-seen-before creature capture by undersea rover.
Well, I never saw one before. I think it is pretty freakin' awesome.

According to this link mega plankton is over 2mm. Since this is thousands of times that size, and has some kind of fleshy innards (was that the brain? digestive system? Both?) I'm pretty sure it's some kind of precursor to a cephalopod.

Coooool. I hadn't thought about a jellyfish, but I guess that's a better fit.

made me think it is a cross between a octopus and jelly fish....the scale pattern is that of an octopus and the movement like a jelly fish.
Whatever it is I would not like to encounter it on a dive!

Maybe it`s a combination of an octopus & jelly fish. A mutant-an OCTOJELL

Rejected by both parents' families. Outcast from society. Dooomed to wander the deepest waters alone. Not even tempting as a food source.

That's a very elaborate (and beautiful) example. Not all of them are that elaborate. Some just look like amorphous blobs.

I wonder if it's a hoax. It's funny that the camera which appeared to be checking the integrity of the thing it was filming suddenly decided to switch to this Whateveritis.

So, I've looked at this several times.
It appears , IMHO, to more of a mollusk-type critter. The movement and behavior are not unlike an octopus.
It almost seems to show some curiosity toward the light.
Perhaps more likely, it discovered that there was food near the light, and we were watching it feed.

Oscar was right, it is an upskirt view.
Another expert, Craig McClain from the National Evolutionary Synthesis Center, explains that the confusing whitish lumps seen in the video are the jellyfish’s testicles.

Wouldn't that make it "up-kilt"?

So, I reckon I was misinterpreting random effects of the currents caused by the propulsion system on the ROV for behavior.
Hmm.
Hafta look at it again.
