Original: New Genus of Nightmare Spaghetti Worms Found Deep Under The Indian Ocean

Scientists have identified a new genus of spaghetti worms living in the deep Indian Ocean, according to a report by ScienceAlert. The worms, named for their tangled, noodle-like tentacles, were discovered during deep-sea exploration. The find highlights how little is still known about life in the ocean's depths and adds to a growing list of species documented in poorly explored deep-sea environments.
