Brilio.net/en - Recently divers had found a new giant species shaped like a pipe on the base of the Tasman Peninsula, in Tasmania, Australia. The transparent animal has a big tube shape and is mushy. It looks like a pyrosome inflatable tube. The original colour is whitish but it can change into brightly lit greenish-blue when others get close to it. The thing is sucking in water particles every day.
This Pyrosome is actually a composite of thousands of small livings that reproduce themselves with the individuals which can create their own colony, said marine biologist Rebecca Halm, as quoted from Deep Sea News.
The creature is growing everyday, depending on the individuals that continue to multiply. The body has reached more than 12 meters. It lives in 500 to 700 meters below the sea surface.
