[Music] I think you almost walked me through the rocks. I got it. I think we got little clams there. You have like that dark purple blob on the left. Purple, purple blob, purple blob, blob is a purplish, teeny tiny mama octopus.

Yeah, come in my fingers for it. It has it, it what is that? I actually have, I don't know what that is. Could that be a salp or a type of a tunicate? I'm just thinking of the planktonic kind that are sort of lumpy and thick like that. I'm stumped.

Yeah, I have no idea. I can't even hazard a guess. A fer? A purple? Are you okay to get it? How's the ship? Oh, they do move quickly.

Yeah, I think we just are we going to grab it? Yeah, okay. Bridge, nav, can we move 5 m south and hold position? Unless, we might get, we might be in an all-out battle here right now.

All right, is this zoom again? Come on, almost never refer. What if it's an egg sack of some sort? It could be, I mean, just it's got a little embryo type thing inside. Maybe it's a spider egg sack.

Let's leave it then, we don't want to mess with spider. Maybe. I mean, I usually have them on their underbelly and their abdomen. They carry them around.

Yeah, so how do we get it? Lee? Suction, suction. All right, in my voice. Did you hear us? A slurp! Is it small enough to slurp, or do we need to put it in a bio box?

Lasers! I think it should be small enough. I think, yeah, some lasers. Laser! And we don't want to clog the slurp. Let me adjust to there, like 4 cm maybe.

Oh, what is so alien? Like, it looks like a disco ball right now with the lasers next to it. Michael, did you hear Lee's question? No, what's the diameter of the slurp?

You know what? I'm not too sure. When did you, no, I don't know exactly. Well, I can put up against it before I draw on suction. We’ll see if it fits.

Yeah, I don't know if it's squishy. It might be squishy. I'll keep them both. You ready for the suction? Yeah, let's see. Ready? [Music] Go!

Wow! Wait for it, wait for it. We waiting? Where is it? Sediment. Sediment? Well, what is it?

Oh look, it's flat on the bottom! What is it? Oh, come on! I reckon it's some kind of Daran, do you think?

Yeah, it looks wow! It was that easy to ID? Come on, no, no, no! Let's see, that's still live! SP.
