Another alien-like creature has been spotted floating in the deep sea - and it is so rare it has only been seen by scientists just over 100 times in a century.

The bizarre creature appears to have a small, disc-shaped bell which can measure up to a metre wide.

It also has four thick, stinging tentacles that can extend up to six metres in length.

Stygiomedusa gigantea is a rare giant deep sea jellyfish, that has only been thought to have been spotted just over 100 times since it was discovered in 1900.
