A virus? An alien? Nope. It's a Munnopsis isopod crustacean, and even scientists haven't figured out more than that about this deep Southern Ocean denizen, yet. Isopods are ancient creatures (they've been on Earth, in one form or another, for 300 million years or so). They have seven pairs of legs and on land, you might be familiar with their cousins, the pill bugs. Nothing on land (and little in water) looks like this guy, though.
