What is this mysterious creature that looks like a squid or a jellyfish?

It is a sea slug that lives in the deep sea of 2,600m.

The snail was first discovered in the sea of California in February 2000, and the latest discovery was confirmed as a new species.

It is characterized by a transparent body with colorful organs

There's a large headscarf on one side and a flat tail on the other.

It is said that it has evolved in a unique form like other deep-sea animals because it lives at a depth of 1,000 to 4,000 meters that light cannot reach.

If it is found by a predator, it can release light from the body and distract the predator.
