    The white golfball/orb at the end is Heteropolypus, formerly Anthomastus, a colonial octocoral or soft coral. The common name is “mushroom coral”. The “pores” are where the polyps reside and they are retracted in this video.

    Oh my god ... This is just way way too incredible: A natural whale fall 😲😂 wow, just ... Wow !!! Once again you guys on the Nautilis have rocked my world, this is like the tenth time my mind's been blown since I discovered this channel a month ago.
    I had never even heard of a whale fall a few weeks ago - but now I'm very well versed in the topic ( for a lay person ) and that's all thanks to this channel; your previous whale fall video prompted a study session on the subject. I reacted in a similar way to other videos of yours and yeah , today I am MUCH more knowledgeable about the ocean and honestly I care so much more, or rather I feel so much more invested in ocean conservation than I did just a few short weeks ago before discovering The Ocean Exploration Trust and this channel.
    Thank you so much EV Nautilis - you are literally changing my life and the lives of many many others all over the world!!

      It does sound like a very interesting and fun job, especially if you like whales. As was already said, you probably won't be doing this very often, but the people in the video did say that marine biologists are often in contact with whale carcasses. I think you'll get enough knowledge of the insides of a whale from there haha. Just be careful to move away before they, you know... explode...

    At 02:36, since one observer is talking of perhaps needing to examine a vertebrae to establish species, why wasn't one of the loose vertebrae on the right of the whale fall seen at 03:10 picked up - I'm sure collecting that would compensate for one rock less being collected and I presume they were rock collection from what was said at the end of this video excerpt.

      It's the specific spot a dead whale carcass fell to the ocean floor. By saying its a "natural whale fall" means it was a wild animal that died naturally on its own in the open ocean; ie: it was not beached and hauled out by boats.

    This would appear to be a Eschrichtius Robustus aka gray whale, among the smaller baleen whales commonly found off the coasts of California. Reaching 39ft in length as adults and considered stable in population currently to date. They tend to have lots of barnacles and lice. It is one of only two living species in its genus which the other being the Akishima whale. It's only natural predators are orcas (killer whales) and humans. They can live between 40-60 years naturally and they feed on invertebrates by sucking up mud from the bottom of the ocean floor and can stay submerged for up to 30 minutes.

      There are corals that live at great depths, and the ones that require sunlight do because of the bacteria that they live in symbiosis with requires it for their photosyntethis
      The corals that live on dark areas probably have symbiont bacteria that uses other sources of energy (organic matter maybe)
