Mysterious Purple Orb Spotted On Ocean Floor

http://news.sky.com/story/mysterious-purple-orb-spotted-on-ocean-floor-10514094

The colourful orb was seen near the Channel Islands of California by the Exploration Vessel Nautilus, a scientific expedition equipped with a live broadcasting studio.The apparently otherwordly lifeform was spotted in a rocky crevasse by a remote-controlled rover, and scientists scratched their heads for several minutes during the live broadcast, trying to explain what viewers could see.

Several years to determine whether or not it's a new organism? Someone needs funding obviously. Cute little thing though.

I love listening to oceanographers talk on these videos.  Seems like a fun job.  Well, that part anyway.

Should've let the red crab have a go at it first ... could've learned something from the natural interaction between the locals ~

2 years from now they overpopulate the surface of the Earth and we find out they're the distant cousins of a furry little creature from Iota Geminorum IV.

Wow. Great video!

Love how the crab was thinking about "capturing" it to possibly eat prior to the laser telemetry, which seemed to scare the crab. Of course, the underwater remote vehicle itself I'm sure scared the crab as well.

Don't feed it.  It might be a sea-tribble!

From the looks of it, internally on the vid, my vote is that it is an egg sack of some type of currently unknown species type.

It doesn't look like a specific mature marine animal, rather an egg sack. It's location (underneath a ledge) seems consistent with egg sack placement.

My unknowlegable guess is that it is an egg sack for some type of jellyfish.

Their update is that they think it's a sea slug or relative.

My guess would be a communal animal, like a siphonophore.

Might be a koffing.
