David Gallo, an oceanographer and explorer gave a short speech at the TED conference and showed the world some of the more bizarre creatures within the seas. He is an advocate of ocean conservation and has worked with Titantic Hunter Robert Ballad.

Gallo shows us yet another example of the unique and wonderful creatures that live within the ocean, and the how it is important to explore as much of the ocean as possible. To date man has only explored about 3% of the world’s oceans.

From squid that can split their coloration exactly down the middle of their body, to octopus and cuttlefish that can see their surroundings and change their coloration and texture to match, this video is absolutely jaw dropping.

Sea Nettles have a bell shaped “head” and long stinging tentacles. These tentacles are covered in nematocysts which help them to capture plankton and small fish. These types of jellies will not kill a human with their sting unless someone is allergic. The stings will be moderately painful and cause a rash that should be treated immediately with vinegar.

The Pacific Sea Nettles were first cultured at the Monterey Bay Aquarium in California and are now seen in many public aquariums around the world.

This video explores these creatures graceful movements and is meant to be a meditation on weightlessness and disorientation. As with all jellyfish exhibits, the Sea Nettles in the Georgia aquarium are kept in tanks that have no corners and no objects, so as to not inhibit the movement of the animals. The blue background against the red fleshy jellyfish bodies creates a beautiful and infinite environment for visitors both young and old.
