Dulcibella camanchaca is a species of amphipod crustacean discovered in the Atacama Trench, at depths of nearly 8,000 m (26,000 ft) in the South Pacific Ocean near Chile. [2] [3] Measuring approximately 4 cm (1.6 in) in length, this predatory amphipod is adapted to the extreme conditions of the hadal zone, making it one of the deepest-living predators identified to date.
Stygiomedusa gigantea, [a] commonly known as the giant phantom jelly, is the only species in the monotypic genus of deep sea jellyfish, Stygiomedusa. It is in the Ulmaridae family . [ 2 ] With only around 110 sightings in 110 years, it is a jellyfish that is rarely seen, but believed to be widespread throughout the world, with the exception of ...
The Pacific viperfish (Chauliodus macouni), is a predatory deep-sea fish found in the North Pacific. [1] [2] It is reported as being either mesopelagic [1] or bathypelagic, with diel vertical migration to shallower waters. [2] The Pacific viperfish is one of the nine different species that belong to the genus Chauliodus, the viperfish.
The predatory tunicate (Megalodicopia hians), also known as the ghostfish, [2] is a species of tunicate which lives anchored along deep-sea canyon walls and the seafloor.It is unique among other tunicates in that rather than being a filter feeder, it has adapted to life as an ambush predator.
However, they have been known to dive to −120 feet (−37 m) to forage deep-water seagrasses. [36] Sea otters live in protected areas, such as rocky shores, kelp forests, and barrier reefs, [37] although they may reside among drift ice or in sandy, muddy, or silty areas. [38] Many marine mammals seasonally migrate.

Atolla wyvillei, also known as the Atolla jellyfish, Coronate medusa, and deep-sea jellyfish, is a species of deep-sea crown jellyfish (Scyphozoa: Coronatae). [2] It lives in oceans around the world. [3] Like many species of mid-water animals, it is deep red in color.
Other predators on marine bryozoans include fish, sea urchins, pycnogonids, crustaceans, mites [114] and starfish. [115] In general marine echinoderms and molluscs eat masses of zooids by gouging pieces of colonies, breaking their mineralized "houses", while most arthropod predators on bryozoans eat individual zooids.
