[edit] Summary

Description

Deep-sea blob sculpin (Psychrolutes phrictus); yellow Picasso sponge (Staurocalyptus sp.); and white ruffle sponge (Ferrea sp.) at the Davidson Seamount (1317 meters depth). The blob sculpin was first captured in the late 1960s off California; but not scientifically named until 1978. Largest specimens are often marked with rings that may be from squid or octopus tentacle sucker marks. Blob sculpins are opportunistic feeders; most commonly eating sea pens; snails; and crabs.
