    Wow! Awesome video, glad I stumbled upon it. My thoughts..

    1) The sea angel is cute! (so tiny too!)
    2) The football octopod is incredible. What sets it apart from other octopus? Is it only found that deep?
    3) I’ve always loved the northern comb jellies! How do that light up like that?
    4) The swallower & Loosejaw are the scariest fish I’ve ever seen! :/ Good thing they live so deep.
