<p><b> by Jeff Donlan</b></p>NOAA scientists</a> just discovered some creepy creatures down in the deep sea. Using a remotely operated vehicle, they studied deep-water reefs in American Samoa. The expedition was done at a protected marine sanctuary, where there had previously been very little exploration. They spotted at least a dozen rarely seen creatures, including a Venus flytrap sea anemone, a rare cosmic jellyfish, and an alien-like creature known as a hydroid. NOAA will continue this deep sea mission until April.<p> </p></p><br /> <p>The post Beautiful Creatures Found In The Deepest Parts Of The Sea</a> appeared first on Vocativ</a>.</p>
