while i understand that this is a facinating discovery, couldn’t they have been satisfied with pictures? something that large probably means it’s been around for a long time. i personally think it’s a tragedy if those starfish are killed.

Those big starfish could be the devolved descendents of Old Ones. You never know…

It doesn’t say in the article if they killed those starfish. I hope not either, as it would have taken them decades to reach that size (there are also deep-dwelling fish such as Orange Roughy which live for decades but are still caught for food - a real shame).

I think the question of whether the organism could survive being removed from its habitat generally depends upon the depth at which the organism lives. Many of the organisms that die do so from the drastic drop in pressure.
At least that sounds good, so I’m sticking with it.

Are they really new species… or simply organisms that were left alone long enough to get that big?
