Ok this may have turned me off of seafood for good. Check out these images of a Bathynomus giganteus or a giant isopod! These are related to shrimp and crabs and are found in the deep sea at around 560ft.
The photos were posted by a Reddit user named Gwynzer, who works for a Sub-sea Survey Company.
“Recently this beast came up attached to one of our ROVs. It measures a wee bit over 2.5 feet head to tail, and we expect it latched onto the ROV at roughly 8500 feet depth. Unfortunately, the e-mail that these pictures were attached to came from a contractor, and the ship he was operating from (and therefore the location) is unknown…” said Gwynzer.
