Sea Clips on Instagram: "The siphonophore is a strange and beautiful creature found deep in the ocean. It may look like a single animal, but it is actually made up of many smaller creatures called zooids. Each zooid has its own special job, like moving, eating, or catching food, and they all depend on each other to survive. Together, they form one long, jelly-like body that can glow in the dark and stretch for many meters. #deepsea #deepseacreatures #ocean #sea #oceanlife #sealife #seacreatures
