The Nautilus team posted footage to Twitter on Wednesday from an expedition in the Pacific Ocean earlier this week. It shows a very big red jellyfish, believed to be a rare Stygiomedusa gigantea.

The jellyfish's appearance in front of the camera elicits some "wow" responses from the marine researchers monitoring the live video feed. They joke about having to clean the submersible after its encounter with the gelatinous animal.
