Scientists find carnivorous 'death ball' species at the bottom of the sea

Scientists are baffled by a gruesome new species dubbed the 'carnivorous death. The new predatory sponge, officially part of the Chondrocladia genus, was found 11,800 feet deep, east of Montagu Island off the coast of Antarctica. Looking like some arty installation in a London gallery, the 'incredible specimen' gets its name due to several long appendages ending in pinkish orbs.
