Rare animal spotted in the Pacific Ocean for the first time ever, pic surfaces

A rare animal was spotted in the Pacific Ocean for the first time ever. The Solumbellula sea pen, a colonial cnidarian, was spotted by scientists at 2,994 metres on a never-before-surveyed seamount north of Johnston Atoll. The Solumbellula sea pen had a single large feeding polyp with pinnate tentacles stretching over 40 cm from its 2-metre-long stalk.
