In October 2013, the Monterey Bay Aquarium Research Institute (MBARI) put together a wonderfully eerie compilation of deep sea creatures, each of whom had a pair of big, beautiful and/or unusual eyes.

In order of appearance: Glass squid, owlfish, vampire squid, rattail fish, longnose skate, crystal amphipod (with orange compound eyes), spot prawn, barreleye fish (with green tubular eyes), slickhead fish, sea toad fish, Dover sole, swordtail squid, shiny loosejaw fish, eight-armed squid and Ray Troll's ratfish.

More recently, MBARI posted glorious footage of a Stygiomedusa gigantea (giant jellyfish), a "ghostly critter from the deep sea".
