Planet Lingcod
An underwater trip to the Edgecumbe Pinnacles is the closest thing to visiting another world. This two-minute video was made by biologists in a small submarine in 55 meters of water off the coast of Southeast Alaska. Lots of lingcod and sea anemones — giant plumose anemones (Metridium farcimen) — a quillback rockfish (Sebastes maliger), 'beautiful hydrocoral' (Stylaster venusta), and at least eight species of sea stars.
