Video by Alix Harvey, head aquarist at the Marine Biological Association of the UK

“Common cuttlefish, Sepia officinalis, striking at 120fps”

Cuttlefish have ten tentacles - eight normal ones, and two longer that function (as seen here) as striking weapons to grab and ensnare prey.

Dark ghost shark (Hydrolagus novaezealandiae) and the pale ghost shark (Hydrolagus bemisi), both are shortnose chimaera of the family Chimaeridae, found on the continental shelf around the South Island of New Zealand in depths from 30 to 850 m.

Both ghost shark species are taken almost exclusively as a bycatch of other target trawl fisheries
