IS THIS A SALP? I'M REALLY NOT SURE...



YOUTUBE BLURB: Something I have always called a "salp" but still unsure of the exact taxonomic placement, this creature is one of the strangest Ive encountered on the Great Barrier Reef.

  2. It is a ctenophore, Neis cordigera, similar to Beroe but with wing-like extensions on the aboral end.
