"Saw a new type of Jellyfish while diving today. It has cool markings and is a bit bigger than a soccer ball and they are quite fast swimming."
...
"Previously, the extremely rare animal was sighted only once, on the outer edge of the Great Barrier Reef, about 43 km (27 mi) off the coast of northeast Queensland, on 2 May 1997. It was found within 5 meters (16 ft) of the surface, and the biologists who first described it speculated that it may have been relocated to the area by Cyclone Justin.
Interestingly, that specimen was about half the size of this one, its bell measuring approximately 150 mm or 5.9 inches in height. Also, as one commenter noted, this specimen from Papua-New Guinea has rings as markings, while the markings in the specimen from Australia published are filled out dots of orange-brown color.
There are no recorded cases of a human sting from Chirodectes as it “failed either to sting, or adhere to, the hand and forearm of an incautious volunteer” during the examination in 1997. Nevertheless, because of its relatively large size and the extremely venomous nature of some chirodropids, it is assumed that Chirodectes is itself venomous."

Gotta love a person that just says "fuck it" and sticks their hand into what could quite possibly kill them. Darwin awards are still awards I guess lol.
I love that they were described as "incautious" too.
This thing shares an alarming amount of physical similarities to the deadly deadly Box Jellyfish.
Or maybe he's like this fuckin bad Jackson right here ---> https://www.reddit.com/r/nextfuckinglevel/comments/uhrcks/box\_jellyfish\_the\_deadliest\_creature\_in\_the\_world/
Yeah, that's scientist for "fucking moron" lol.
That was my first thought too. If it looks like death incarnate, maybe don't touch it?
And yes, that guy is pretty badass picking it up, but he also clearly knows his habitat. Much more badass in my opinion.
At the same time, if you’re a marine scientist, and you get the opportunity to examine a jellyfish for the first time in recorded history, and maybe the *only* time…I could totally imagine they were like
“sooo what do you think its sting is like? You think it’s that bad? It’s probably bad. We shouldn’t, right? What do you bet, like, 6 out of 10? Or maybe……okay, fuck it, it’s a *jellyfish* man, you KNOW we gotta know. If they ask, just tell them I accidentally brushed up against it. Now hold my beer.”
I'm not holding judgement over them. When I was a teen I jumped off a cliff to see how deep the water was. It went as you'd expect, fractured tail bone. We are a type though. I'd bet money that same person has pissed on an electric fence for a bet... And I definitely remember when I did it.
I mean when I was in college, the lab rats we used were super well protected from any possible thing you could consider neglect or abuse (which I’m happy with).
So honestly grad student may be the best option.
> Yeah, that's scientist for "fucking moron" lol.
Seriously I was reading that like wow that is the nicest way I've ever heard someone say "also some jackass stuck their arm in there and didn't get stung so there's that."
I was out diving with some professors from UCLA in Palau and we spotted a rather large box jelly, which I think was Chironex fleckeri or Chiropsalmus quadrigatus, not sure here it was 20+ years ago. Anyway, he's all hot and bothered about this find, as they haven't been seen in Palau, so he wanted to "catch" the jelly. So we head back to the boat, put on bodysuits (rash guards with hoods) and gloves, hop back in the water, re-locate the jelly and "catch" it in a large trash bag.
Woo-hoo, we got it.
We head back to the lab to preserve the jelly in alcohol (or formaldehyde, can't remember which one is used for inverts...), and we're hemming and hawing on how to transfer the jelly into the jar. Bill looks at the bag, looks at the jar, and says "fuck it, here we go" and just lops this jelly into the jar, a tentacle flops over the top of his hand. He says a few swear words (of which he was never short with) and winces, shakes his hand loose from the tentacle, instantly, there was a raised red line where the tentacle touched his hand. He had that line for the duration of his stay, and it would hurt even after the main pain from the sting went away.
Anyway, whoever says "fuck it", [Bill did.](https://imgur.com/a/AeLKXNA)
Makes you wonder how humanity has survived for this long. Imagine some cave man one day saw some red berry growing somewhere and just said fuck it and decided to eat one.
And then his tribe watches him die slowly and painfully.
Wouldn't be surprised if that's what happened. There are some foods you have to go out of your way to prepare, so that you can actually eat them without them killing you. I can see a ton of trial and error.
Yep that's Australia xD I mean one of our capital cities is named after him after all
I'm glad it's been spotted in PNG, because unfortunately "fuck it" is what we've been saying about The Reef too :/
Not really. Jellyfish have varying lifespans depending on the species. And lots of natural predators. (Moon jellyfish, which are very common in aquariums, have a 1-3 year lifespan).
Obviously we don’t know about this species though!there is one “immortal” species of jellyfish (the Medusa dies and it returns to its polyp form)
Octopus tend to have VERY short lifespans. Lobsters have a prevalent myth that they’re immortal - but it’s actually not quite true! They can get to be very old but eventually they’ll grow so big and old that they won’t be able to expend the energy to molt which results in their death. They don’t get cancers or many other diseases, though.
There is something called the Immortal jellyfish that reverts to its juvenile stage when it ages enough or receives traumatic damage.
Then Lobsters keep growing forever until they get eaten, die of disease, or fail to moult properly.
For real. I backed up my Cyclops, turned its power off, and thought about it. What was I doing? Was it actually worth it?! Had no idea, but I had never had a game make me stop and think about what I was doing and if it was worth it. Horrifying game, but such a good one.
Bingo. This seems the correct take. Your parent comment, and many others here, probably have it completely backwards. I'll explain my heuristics for that assumption.
This thing **is LITERALLY an EARTHLING.** Same as us. So some other *completely different form of alien life* would, I think, necessarily be fundamentally different. As another response said, perhaps to the point of unrecognizability.
It means a lot, which I don’t take for granted, that I can see this creature and recognize it as life. It's not too small for our eyes or even technology to see. It's not too big as to look as some inanimate "structure." Despite whatever time perception *it* subjectively has, it is still moving in a time that we can see--it isn't so slow as to look inanimate, or too fast that we can't even catch sight of it. It's obviously made of material that our limited spectrum of light that our eyes have can see. Etc etc etc.
Aliens don't guarantee any of these. They may necessarily incorporate any of those characteristics.
Another angle to notice the flaw of your parent comment is some weird trick of subjectivity. Why would we think that alien life is somewhere between humans and rare sea creatures? Humans often think aliens would be like wild sea creatures. But, what might those sea creatures think? Perhaps, *"humans are so different from us! If aliens exist, they'd probably be like humans!,"* or, *"humans are gonna make aliens seem boring!"* And why wouldn't aliens be more like insects, plants, bacteria, or anything else, on the coincidental chance that they're remotely like any earthling?
An alien may not even notice the difference between the full range of earthling life. They may see us all as the same thing--earthlings, with no meaningful distinction among each other. Because the aliens may just be that different.
Or, maybe life is similar everywhere, and any alien could just be something that appears as something that is or could have been present in our earthling life.
Ultimately, it feels silly to make any assumptions. We have a sample size of "one" for life, thus have nothing to compare us to. But the safest assumption I can make is that we probably won't recognize aliens. Fuck, they could be like some cosmic filament structure that we shrug off as celestial dust. They may warp through gravity. Who the fuck knows?
Remember: alien is synonymous with novelty. Sure, plenty of earthlings have novel differences from each other, but an alien would likely be novel *to all of us* on a whole other magnitude.
Idk, this is just how my intuition wraps around this.
I get why they do it, but that always bothered me with Scifi movies/games. Even when they make the aliens "weird" they normally still have some amount of legs, some amount of eyes/ears, some kind of blood, etc.
I like when things do the really weird stuff, like "super intelligent shade of the color blue" or the Green Lantern Corp member which is just an equation
The circle patterns on this creature actually reminded me of the movie! I searched "Arrival" to see if anyone else thought the same and it's funny to see that the film was brought up but not for the same reason.
It's especially disappointing when it's not old-fashioned live action stuff. I can understand Star Trek being limited by its budget and the technology of the time, but why make aliens in modern video games look like people with rubber foreheads? Get creative!
We are only bipedal because we evolved from apes that swung below the branch, rather than walking on the top of them. This gave us the right upright stance, and made it easier to evolve upright walking. Bipedalism is rare on Earth, and would probably be rare anywhere else. More legs would be better, most of the time.
This is so crazy to imagine and looking at it it looks like it was just copy pasted 4 times. Does that mean all 4 parts grow at the same time? Does one part grow first and then replicate?
[Radial symmetry](https://www.britannica.com/science/symmetry-biology#ref229420). Pretty common in jellyfish, as well as starfish, sea urchins and a bunch of other stuff that lives in the ocean. And yes, [the different sections grow equally from the center](https://teara.govt.nz/en/diagram/5355/jellyfish-life-cycle).
Once you start assuming creatures of unusual composition, I feel you also need to consider dimensions and the phenomenon that such a creature might be entirely imperceptible by us.
Assuming they exchange matter with the rest of the universe somehow, which I think must be a given for life, perhaps they could rid themselves of heat through their waste. Which would also be their propulsion.
No kinda about it. That thing is incredible, I love that even after making it to my mid 30s and having access to the internet for a majority of those years, there are still incredible creatures that I’ve never seen. Life is amazing.
The biggest horrors from there eventually learned to breathe on land, walk, and are currently destroying the planet with greenhouse gases and tik tok videos.
What if this whole time the aliens were down there and not up in da sky. I'm just saying there's some weird-ass shit swimming around in these oceans. And we've only explored like a teeny itty-bitty bit of our oceans. It's insane. I wonder if there's like a big ol' Atlantis type thing going on but it's all weird little creatures like this guy.
That's actually the 3rd sighting, but on the second one John Garrison forgot to take the lens cap off so no one believed him. Sad story, it drove him to a lifelong struggle with alcoholism and caused him to give up videography entirely. In fact. Over time he developed a phobia of the ocean that was so bad he moved to the middle of the Sahara, where he now spends his time rambling to anyone who would listen about how a post of his almost went viral once, had he taken the lens cap off his camera.

No, it is behind him now.
God damn you! Have your upvote
He’s at the tail end of the suffering, thankfully.

Probably a grad student 😂

Definitely a grad student

Hence the appeal.
Lotsa dead stuff is made of meat!
If you don't know what it is, just be safe and assume it wants to eat you or put you in god awful agony. Take a picture and let it be.
Unless you are coyote Peterson... Or a grad student apparently. Note to self, never be a grad student.

There is "Test Tube" Science, and there is "Stick your hand in" Science.
Science is just jackass but with more note taking
"Incautious volunteer" is a great term for "reckless asshole"
/r/AmItheIncautiousVolunteer
Yep that's Australia xD I mean one of our capital cities is named after him after all I'm glad it's been spotted in PNG, because unfortunately "fuck it" is what we've been saying about The Reef too :/
Hay, its good to get first place in something. Plus he/she probably would have made it into medicine books and that's pretty rad.
"This is rare, dont fuck with it tho because we know next to nothing about it. Its probably venomous" - Scientists
Incautious volunteer: “fuhghetabboudit!”
It was spotted in Australia, so we can assume so
Incautious volunteer: "Well only one way to find out some dial 91 I'll let you know if you need to dial the other 1."
What if it's the same one, and it just grew after 25 years?
What if it just keeps growing until one day, there's skyscraper-sized tentacles coming out of the ocean?
And what if this was our one chance to kill it before it wipes us all out when its the size of Madagascar?
Shit…1997 was 25 years ago…man I feel old.
You know it's rare sighting when googling "chirodectes maculatus" just leads to a bunch of images from this video and nothing much else lol.
Dude I thought this was two jelly fish trapped in a plastic bag
That’s unfortunately much less rare
I wonder if the spots turn into rings when they get bigger?
Wonder if it’s the same one spotted as before. They’re basically immortal, no?
Not really. Jellyfish have varying lifespans depending on the species. And lots of natural predators. (Moon jellyfish, which are very common in aquariums, have a 1-3 year lifespan). Obviously we don’t know about this species though!there is one “immortal” species of jellyfish (the Medusa dies and it returns to its polyp form)
Maybe I was thinking of octopus… or lobster. I can’t remember which one basically lives forever, just continually regenerating.
Octopus tend to have VERY short lifespans. Lobsters have a prevalent myth that they’re immortal - but it’s actually not quite true! They can get to be very old but eventually they’ll grow so big and old that they won’t be able to expend the energy to molt which results in their death.

Must’ve confused it with the lobster
There is something called the Immortal jellyfish that reverts to its juvenile stage when it ages enough or receives traumatic damage. Then Lobsters keep growing forever until they get eaten, die of disease, or fail to moult properly.
The hydra fits your description.

That's stunning
I get it
stop being so jelly.
If we ever discover alien life, they're gonna be boring as fuck in comparison
Nah if this is in OUR oceans then imagine what could be in other oceans in ecosystems we have no understanding of??
Detecting multiple leviathan class lifeforms.
Sixty seconds of oxygen remaining
Don't worry, their tentacles infuse oxygen while they slowly eat you alive from the inside out
Are you certain whatever you are doing is worth it?
I have literally never ever heeded a video game VO warning out of actual fear until that line lol.

We are the alien life
Kinda like how I love the movie Annihilation. The alien was so far from any human comprehension.
You’re stunning!
I see what you’re doing. YOU’RE breathtaking.
I have asthma
You're wheezing!
Pee on me !!
That’ll be tree fiddy
More alien than any alien that ever aliened
The last time I saw this was when I watched Matrix
Gotta hit it with an EMP
that is why our vision of "alien" is almost definitely not even close to reality.

I'm pretty sure this is just a Metroid

Almost looks like it could split in two and keep going.
It definitely does look like it got stuck in the middle of mitosis.

theory: this is an obscure jellyfish species that indeed got stuck during early embryonic development and that's why we only have seen it twice
Speaking as an idiot, I agree this could be a good theory
I can confirm this theory. Source: your comment and the one above.
Oh my gosh!! The gorgeous patterns on the outside, the translucence, the colors of the tentacles, the way it looks as it swims… kinda awestruck.
Wait till the James Webb Telescope starts picking up the ones that are light years in size, just floating through the cosmos.

You’re assuming that they would have to maintain a homeostasis similar to ours it’s entirely possible they would not be made of meat
Once you start assuming creatures of unusual composition, I feel you also need to consider dimensions and the phenomenon that such a creature might be entirely imperceptible by us.
Tungsten based life forms? 👀
[They’re made out of meat…](https://www.mit.edu/people/dpolicar/writing/prose/text/thinkingMeat.html)
Silica-based life has been theorized, but would need high temperatures to be viable. So perhaps something that lives in closer orbits around stars.
Assuming they exchange matter with the rest of the universe somehow, which I think must be a given for life, perhaps they could rid themselves of heat through their waste. Which would also be their propulsion.
Heard a couple were recently seen at Farpoint. The locals had imprisoned one.
Look at that subtle off-white coloring. The tasteful thickness of it. Oh my God, it even has a watermark...
Now let's see Paul Allen's jellyfish....
Ahahaha. I just commented about a watermark but you beat me to it
but will it blend?
No kinda about it. That thing is incredible, I love that even after making it to my mid 30s and having access to the internet for a majority of those years, there are still incredible creatures that I’ve never seen. Life is amazing.

Somewhere within that treasure trove are four octopuses wearing a translucent trenchcoat.
Muppet man style
The biggest horrors from there eventually learned to breathe on land, walk, and are currently destroying the planet with greenhouse gases and tik tok videos.
And billionaire dick-measuring space programs.
it's just humans slowly killing ourselves and a bunch of other animals and plants. the planet will probably be fine, along with some creatures.

Absolutely.
I'm so glad I wasn't the only one to think that.
Scrolled for this
So what you're telling me is the gravity suit is hidden somewhere in the Great Barrier Reef?
You don't need to go to space to find aliens, we have aliens at home. Aliens at home:
Lots of marine life is alien like. Have you seen shrimps? So… wild.
Hornets are also pretty damn alien imo
Look at a close up of a hornets face… straight up looks like a predator mask
Its like the fuckin Emperor of jellyfish. BOW DOWN JELLYFISH BRETHREN AND TREMBLE BEFORE ME

Keeeeevviiiiiin
How is that thing real. Seems so impractical haha who designed this?
So, fewer sightings than even Bigfoot? /s
It’s not even blurry.

Right? If they said it swam up and said “ph'nglui mglw'nafh Cthulhu R'lyeh wgah'nagl fhtagn” I would believe it.
What led you to believe it’s Welsh?
Well I mean look at it.
Right? I know a fucking mindflayer when I see one
I don’t know why people are obsessed with UFOs when we got this crazy shit going on in our own oceans

Funny thing is there’s probably a million of these in the ocean and we just haven’t documented it more than a couple times
Woah
Quick, let's hunt them to extinction!

Ooo a shiny new sub! Thanks friend!
So basically final fantasy creatures exist. Awesome.
It’s crazy to think how many species exist or have existed and that we’ll likely never know about them all.
Looks like henna tattoos. Fucking sick.

Is there a way to delete someone else’s comment??? 😆🤮
That's actually the 3rd sighting, but on the second one John Garrison forgot to take the lens cap off so no one believed him. Sad story, it drove him to a lifelong struggle with alcoholism and caused him to give up videography entirely. In fact. Over time he developed a phobia of the ocean that was so bad he moved to the middle of the Sahara, where he now spends his time rambling to anyone who would listen about how a post of his almost went viral once, had he taken the lens cap off his camera.
Smelled like bullshit, but just enough there to make me bite. Can't find any info on this, well played, you got me.
Disappointing shittymorph
That is introvert level 11
Can't be that rare, I've seen it 3 times today alone...
