The predatory tunicate (Megalodicopia hians) is a species of tunicate which lives anchored along the deep sea canyon walls and seafloor, waiting for tiny animals to drift or swim into its hood-shaped mouth. Looking something like a cross between a jellyfish and a Venus Flytrap, its mouthlike hood is quick to close when a small animal drifts inside. Once the predatory tunicate catches a meal, it keeps its trap shut until it is ready to eat again. Sometimes called the Ghostfish, they are known to live in the Monterey Canyon at depths of 200–1,000 metres (660–3,280 ft). They mostly eat zooplankton and tiny animals.
