Plants and animals that live in the world's oceans.

The ocean covers 71% of the Earth, and yet we know virtually nothing about it. What is the bloop? What lurks in the darkness among the anglers and the vampire squid? If you find something cool, interesting, bizarre - anything that is related to the ocean that sparks your interest - please, mention it here.


/r/oceans also shares news, information and conservation articles about the ocean, so check it out if you're interested!

HELP!

I accidentally brought home mr crabs and I am afraid he/she won’t survive. Is there anything I can do to help keep him/her alive ? I do not own a salt fish tank, let alone know how to keep one up and going.
