Sea Serpent.

Underwater videographer Jay Garbose was diving near Juno Beach, Florida when his camera caught an unusual creature that some call a sea serpent.

Jay says when he first saw the giant worm like creature he thought it was a sea cucumber...then he realized how big it was.

The creature, which measured between seven and ten feet, has baffled scientists who have seen the video.

It looks like a cross between a long string of cellulite and a tapeworm. That is possibly the most bizarre and revolting sea creature i have ever seen! I can't wait for them to identify it!

Judging by the way it is moving and the way it changes its shape, I would say, almost definitely, it is a Nemertean worm, commonly called 'Ribbon worms'. This one is free-living or in other words, nonparasitic.

Funny how these odd creatures are regularly shown in news articles as "unidentified," when in only 2 hours, someone has identified it on a blog. lol. GG newsies. GG.
