Monsters of the deep

It is often said that we know more about the surface of the moon than we do about the ocean floor - and one look at these strangely stunning creatures will be enough to affirm that.

Underwater photographer, Colin Marshall, has dedicated more than 15 years to capturing the little-known species on camera and credits his favorite diving spot, Lembeh in Indonesia, where he has completed more than 500 dives, for some of his best shots. (Caters News)
