    Huh, the picture you have here is just the jellynose larva according to the article. For a second you had me thinking of a six foot version of that. I'm actually kind of relieved to see that it's just a big ugly, slimy, awkward-looking fish. It's still pretty gross, but at least it isn't the swimming translucent globe-eyed jello sperm from my nightmares.

    that picture seems to have a scale on the bottom right that suggests we're looking at a Jellynose around, oh, 15mm long ... am I right?

    @hamshank: Yep, that's a larva. Bit misleading there, Lauren. I mean I actually thought that was a pic of the six-foot creature right there, until I clicked through to the National Geographic site. Oh, and can I just say that I, for one, welcome...never mind.
