Enrichment-Opportunist Stage: Smaller invertebrates, such as polychaete worms and crustaceans, colonize the nutrient-rich sediment and remaining small scraps

Entire ecosystems form around the carcass, supporting species that exist nowhere else. This process is called a whale fall — a powerf

This whale fall was discovered in 2009, and even after 14 years, it still hosts a diverse biological community - check out the #tubeworms inhabiting the jawbones! We don’t know what species of whale these bones belong to, but we have observed limpets, snails, isopods, crabs, and a variety of fish, including #RattailFish.
