A Galatheid crab (possibly a Eumunida species), showing the
extremely long claws they possess that enable them to cling to the
inside of the suction sampler, is seen in this handout NOAA
photograph. Fluorescent shrimp, crabs that detect ultraviolet light
in the sunless depths, and an unseen creature that tumbled a
massive camera have surprised scientists diving in the Gulf of
Mexico. Their expedition has turned up an array of creatures that
use fluorescence in ways previously unknown to science, the team, a
collaboration of federally funded researchers, said on September 2,
2005. (NOAA/Handout/Reuters)
