A French marine expidition around Panglao, a Philippinie island, has revealed thousands of new species. The species, like the freak from the sea shown in this picture, are mostly crustaceans and molluscs.  "Numerous species were observed and photographed alive, many for the first time, and it is estimated that between 150 and 250 of the crustaceans and 1,500 to 2,500 of the mollusks are new species," said Philippe Bouchet of the French National Museum of Natural History in Paris.
"However, it requires a thorough comparison with all previously named species to ascertain if a novel species is indeed new to science. This is a slow and tedious process," he said.
