I was swimming in the midnight zone, the deepest part of the ocean, looking for animals. Suddenly, a bright color caught my eye. I swam towards the light hoping to see something amazing. On the seabed, I found two animals that are called siphonophores and a rainbow blanket octopus. Siphonophores’ average length is 130 feet. They are known to be the longest animals in the world. I was surprised to see a rainbow blanket octopus because it is really rare and there are only two of them left in the whole world. I was just looking at the siphonophores and then I started to wonder what they were doing because they were both circling around. When a rainbow blanket octopus is scared, it should leave a blanket, but this one didn’t and the siphonophores were attacking it because they wanted to eat it. So that left me even more confused. I blinked a few times, when suddenly the rainbow blanket octopus swam away and it left its blanket on top of its predator, one of the two siphonophores. So then, the captain signaled me to come back up to the surface and I did. Once I was up at the surface, I told the captain and the other sailors what I saw.
