UNSW marine scientists on board Australia's new research vessel Investigator have collected some creepy-looking creatures, many smaller than your fingernail, while on an expedition that discovered a cluster of sunken, extinct volcanoes. Some of the larval fish look more at home in an episode of the Twilight Zone. Photos: Marine National Facility.
