Chambered Nautilus (Nautilus Pompilius) - Found 600 meters below sea level these creatures are trapped and brought up for divers to observe and photograph.

I'm not entirely sure where I stand on this however I do know they were quite a sight and a bit difficult to photograph as the swayed back and forth while sinking into the abyss.
