A sea cucumber recently caught on camera by the NOAA crew during the Okeanos Explorer mission dazzles and mesmerizes.

Let’s face it, sea cucumber is not the most exciting name for an aquatic creature. 
Nonetheless, one of them recently caught on camera during the NOAA Okeanos Explorer deep sea mission manages to dazzle and mesmerize. 
The underwater animal undulates and twists its way through the water, exposing not only its agility, but some rather stunning markings.
The purple stunner was spotted during a dive at Fina Nagu Caldera D near Guam.
