5:23 The fact that the cuttlefish is INTERACTING with you, almost like a pet, is simply mind boggling! That's so cool.

My husband and I have seen a bobbit worm up close years ago. We were visiting relatives in my husbands birth country-Karachi, Pakistani. It was at nighttime during a high tide I believe because the waves were rough and high. Lots of marine animals were getting tossed onto the shore. I even saw a dead black and white striped baby sea snake floating atop the waves. It was about a foot long. This bobbit worm was also a baby one. Only two feet long or so. The thickness maybe like your forearm or a little less? Very thick in diameter. It was just laying out on the beach. Not buried under the sand as you would usually expect. At the time neither of us had ever seen or even heard of a bobbit worm. We were cautious as if it was venomous. I remember it was a pinkish red color and did have this iridescent sheen to it. Those hook like appendages on its jaws I can never forget as they snapped open and closed just like in the video! My curious husband grabbed a foot long stick and tried to pick the thing up to get a better look at it. He gently lifted this thing and it would flip over and over. My husband asked me, “ What the hell is this?” I had no idea either as I said at the time and never seen or knew of such a creature before. It reminds me of a giant centipede! Coyote Peterson would freak as I know he’s not fond of centipedes-neither was my mother-in-law who passed away a few years ago. Coyote and her would both be on the ceiling if they saw one-and as close enough to touch it as I have! It truly is a thing a creature of nightmares or a sci fy movie! Very true indeed. I do not wish to come face to face with the creepy crawly mysterious bobbit worm of the deep ever again! I’ll run for the hills! Yikes! 😳 😮

bobbit worms are a nightmare indeed, especially for saltwater aquarium enthusiasts as they can just appear in their tanks from rocks they buy etc. A 5ft bobbit worm can hide itself in a 3 inch rock. You can't really kill a bobbit worm, if you split it into pieces those segmented pieces will just turn into another bobbit worm. So now you've got 3 worms to get rid of. They will line their burrows with a mucous that makes them even harder to extract, one enthusiast ended up just smashing his aquarium to get rid of the worm. They are brainless, can grow up to 10ft long, have a deadly neurotoxin and not only do the mandibles deliver the toxin, the bristles along its body can too. The neurotoxin will cause permanent nerve damage.

The moment with the cuttlefish was truly breathtaking. You’d swear that stuff only happens in fiction.

Your handling of the cuddle fish was extraordinary. Well done

That was really interesting, it seems like the Bobbit worm was up higher when it was around the porcupine fish, which swims above the ground. But seemed to burry itself lower when the scorpion fish came along, which crawl along the ground. That seems very intelligent.

Cuttlefish are incredibly smart! I worked for Marineland of the Pacific about 40 years ago. I would spend my lunch break in the room with the quarantine tanks that held the new arrivals. One day, there was a tank with about a dozen cuttlefish. One brave little cuttlefish came to the glass to get a better look at me. I began to play with him, and he played back with me through the glass. Sweetest & smartest ocean creature.

That interaction with the Cuttlefish was breathtaking. It was as if it was trying to communicate with you. You can see how intelligent they are. The guy that makes animals robots John Downer Productions made a Spy Cuttlefish showing how intelligent they are,

I had the fortune of being stationed on Okinawa in the mid 80's, and I got a dive license within the first couple months of arrival. The waters off Okinawa are some of the most pristine in the world, the coral reefs at the time were phenomenal. I did both day and night dives, and some of the craziest stuff I saw was at night, for sure. It was amazing seeing fish in a semi trance state, to swim over a coral mound and suddenly be face to face with an 7 ft Goliath Grouper, that will wake you up. Seeing bioluminescent plankton light up whenever you moved quickly, or bazaar sea worms by the thousands suddenly surround you, or a Sea Wasp the size of a basketball with 15 feet long tentacles show up out of nowhere, it was just crazy. Once at 110 feet on a night dive, I picked up a 3 inch round flat sea urchin, which looked non-threatening, but quickly found out, even with gloves on, that it's micro spines penetrated my gloves with ease, and my fingers felt like l had just stuck them in a bowl of stinging nettles with 10x the stinging effect. My hand was not right for about an hour. I can say the majority of my dives that I enjoyed the most were in the first atmosphere, most of the really fun stuff to watch on the reefs were there, all the color, from Sea Anemones, Feather Dusters, Brain Coral, Staghorn Coral, Peppermint Shrimp, Mantis Shrimp, Sea snakes, Moray Eels, Lobsters, Moorish idol's, Lion Fish, bright blue polka dotted yellow box fish, Tangs, Damselfish, Butterfly fish, every kind of those and others imaginable, was all there to watch interact with the reef. I very much miss those days.

one of my favorite videos yet. Excellent footage, info and what an experience!
