A golden orb found on the Gulf of Alaska seafloor is not an alien object but the detached gold cuticle of Relicanthus daphneae, a rare deep-sea anemone. DNA sequencing showed a 99.9% match to the species, and researchers explain that the anemone sheds this golden layer as it moves, which can sink and resemble something from another world. The finding clarifies the organism’s identity and underscores how much deep-sea biodiversity remains poorly understood.
