The pink see-through fantasia (Enypniastes eximia) is a translucent, swimming sea cucumber that was discovered in 2007. It has a transparent body that reveals its internal organs. Discovery The pink see-through fantasia was discovered in the Celebes Sea, part of the Coral Triangle in the western Pacific Ocean. The discovery was part of the Census of Marine Life, led by a team of scientists and photographers from the U.S. and the Philippines. The team used scuba diving, nets, cameras, and ROVs to study the deep sea. Appearance The pink see-through fantasia has been called the headless chicken fish, headless chicken monster, and the Spanish dancer. It feeds on benthic sediment on the deep ocean floor. Behavior The pink see-through fantasia can use bioluminescence to coat its attacker. It can travel up the water column to find new food sources and to avoid predators
Did you know that scientists have discovered that a food dye can render skin transparent? It works on mice. Rub it on, and they can see through the skin. No tests on humans have been done, but the days of MRI's may be numbered. (Scientific American article)
