In the black depths of the frigid Arctic Ocean, scientists on a 2005 expedition found a splash of color: The brilliant, blood-red Crossota norvegica jellyfish (pictured).
The creature was spotted by a remotely operated vehicle 8,530 feet (2,600 meters) underwater during a two-month National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) expedition to the Canada Basin, the deepest and least explored part of the Arctic waters.
Though C. norvegica is not a new species, several new deep-sea animals were discovered during the expedition--some of which were announced in recent research papers in 2009.

It appears Giger did album covers for ELP back in the ‘70’s.

Golly, how are you getting all those awesome parallel pix?... Some of kind of ultra-search or something?
(There is a "find similar" feature, isn't there?)
At any rate, great job!

See, I was going to ask what evolutionary benefit is a giant flaming red jellyfish in the middle of the deep, dark ocean? How many evolutionary steps was taken to make this specific jellyfish?
/sort of the same point - Evolution it ain’t.

All done by the eye with amazement for the useless and totally self absorbed qualities Haute Couture. I look at one thing and see another - Fortunes of a misspent youth I suppose.
