Untold horrors from the deep. Eldritch monstrosities yet unseen by man.

From the Pyre and Gothic seamounts, no less!

"Aye, cully; them carnivorous sponges did come from t'Gothic, o'er in t'Graveyard, they did. Crept up in the night, surrounded our wessel; those that weren't wakened by the horrible sucking noises they made were devoured, screaming, in their beds. Those what fled were brought down in their tracks, cryin' to Jesus, as the pulpy horrors encased 'em, an weren't nothin' left but gleamin' bones when they were done, skulls all a-grinnin' in the light of a devil moon. I won't never forget the sounds...an' I swear I won't never sail by the Graveyard again..."

could have submitted this to /r/science, but it belongs here, really.

I think I have to agree with you. No reason you couldn't also submit it to r/science as well.
