The glowing tube-shaped object made the diver confused

The glowing pink object, about three meters long, is actually the rare egg coating of diamond ink.

Jay Winks, who runs the Abc Scuba Diving tourism company Port Douglas, shared a photo of a viscous pipe- like object he met in offshore Australia on Facebook earlier this month, according to Mother Nature Network. "Does anyone know this pink name? It's about three meters long and has a diameter of 100mm , " Winks wrote.

The photograph of an unusual object quickly caused a fever on social media, many arguing that the tubular is undoubtedly a marine creature like the pyrosome . Individuals that combine into herds sometimes reach more than 18 meters called zooid , also nicknamed "narwhal" because of their rarity.

However, the Winks object encountered is even rarer. When examined carefully, experts identified glowing pink objects that are not creatures but a giant egg wrap .

According to Rebecca Helm, a jellyfish biologist at Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution in Massachusetts, USA, glowing pink dots around the tube are actually eggs of diamond ink .

"These eggs are extremely rare. If I am there, I will scream for joy. I hope the divers know how lucky they are to see it , " Helm said.

Marine scientists estimate these egg covers can contain between 20,000 and 40,000 cubes. Although the lifespan lasts only a year, the calf can quickly reach a length of more than one meter.

Similar egg-covered eggs are found by divers in the island of Ticao, Philippines.(Video: YouTube).
