This long creature is a strange gelatinous animal and related to the bell-shaped medusa we have seen on this expedition. The bright spot on the tip is a buoyant pneumatophore. Each of the clear segments below that are actually individual animals highly modified only to pulse in support of motion. In this animal, each individual has a modified body that supports single function while being connected to a common stem. We saw several siphonophores of various lengths on this expedition. Siphonophores typical prey on small crustacean plankton and small fish.
