<p>This image, taken in 2002, about one mile deep near a huge underwater volcano near Monterey Bay, provided by NOAA shows this strange marine animal, thought to be a new species that has yet to be described or named. It is a type of mollusk, called Nudibranch, a type of mollusk that sheds its shell early in life. Scientists think there are millions of species, like this one, that have yet to be named or even discovered. (AP Photo/NOAA)</p>
