Unknown Blue Organism
Several times over the course of Dive 08 of the third Voyage to the Ridge 2022 expedition, while exploring southwest of St. Croix, we encountered this unknown blue organism. Scientists think it may be a soft coral, sponge, or tunicate...but at the moment, it remains a mystery.
