This video, filmed at a depth of 770 meters, shows a bioluminescent deep-sea siphonophore – a large organism consisting of many different organisms.

Thought this said deep sea super-orgasm for a moment. Alas it is not so.

It’s like a swimming oozing Christmas tree! With built-in lights too!

Oh that’s way cool. I wonder if that is how complex organisms like ourselves first developed. Different organisms showed up and began to play more and more specific roles until one day they became inseparable. I’ll have to remember this next time I talk to a creationist because I guarantee they will have never heard of siphonophores.

It reminds me of a chandelier by Chihuly. It is interesting that there are several “things” coexisting with each other.
I wonder if we could see it in a battle against previously posted http://www.neatorama.com/2008/10/30/it-came-from-the-deep/

Neat Stuff! I don’t get why there are people saying its creepy…there are much uglier things that have been posted here…
And…am I the only one who noticed V6 on the insert video? Seeing JE bands on a popular American blog makes me kinda happy.
V6 is a Japanese music group, btw.
