| Brisingid (sea star) |
Before the cruise and my first look at ROV images, I thought that the deep-sea world would range from light grey to dark grey.
I was wrong! From the bright red urchins to pale green, yellow, orange, red and purple corals, this place is full of different colours!
We saw small bright pink crabs, pink lobsters, snow-white and orange sea stars and … fish in disguise!

| Centriscops humerosus |
We met this funny looking fish during our ROV dives at Melville. It is a banded yellowfish ... real name
Centriscops humerosus.
It is from the same group of fish as sea horses. Any resemblance?

We can find it at this range of latitude all around the southern hemisphere (Southeast Atlantic: South Africa; Southwest Atlantic: Argentina. Southwest pacific: Australia and New Zealand). Its depth range is usually 450 – 700m.
