Scientists find mysterious sea creature that looks like 'blue goo'

An unusual-looking 'blue goo-like' sea creature was discovered on the floor of the Caribbean Sea in Puerto Rico. The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration's Okeanos (NOAA) explorer crew found this unusual-looking creature during a deep sea dive of about 1,400 feet south of St. Croix on August 30.

A video shared by the team on their Twitter account showed the unusual-looking creature formless and faceless creature just staying still. The creature appeared to be limbless and covered with a lot of bumps. It also had the colour of 'worn denim.'

"Have you heard about the latest Okeanos mystery? Seen multiple times during off St. Croix, this 'blue goo' animal stumped scientists, who thought it might be soft coral, sponge, or tunicate (but def not a rock!)," the Okeanos team tweeted on Wednesday.
