Giant rare 'phantom jellyfish' that eats with mouth-arms spotted off California coast

Scientists who have been piloting a new remote submarine have filmed spectacular footage of a giant 'phantom jellyfish' lurking in the deep blue of Monterey Bay, California.

The giant predator was captured as it was floating, with its long "mouth-arms" trailing around it, at a depth of 3,200 feet (975 meters) by marine biologists from the Monterey Bay Aquarium Research Institute (MBARI).

The elusive creature has only been captured by the biologists at Monterey Bay nine times before.
