Bobbing away in the dark depths of the ocean, these tiny creatures display a unique beauty that few get to truly appreciate.
And the latest publication by a scientist who studies these microscopic animals is set to become an unlikely bestseller – all thanks to the beauty of plankton.
His coffee table book about the amazing life forms that live unseen in the oceans has dozens of remarkable photographs taken through a microscope.
Amazing life forms: Dr Richard Kirby’s passion for plankton has led to a set of marvellous pictures which feature in his book Ocean Drifters,
a secret world beneath the waves like these tiny Jellyfish

The book also points out that without the miniature creatures we would have no fish, oil, gas or clouds, and the sea would lose its distinctive smell.
The images show the variety of micro marvels and mini monsters that live in the sea, including tiny jelly fish and urchins, sea butterflies and sea angels.
There are minute fish, spaghetti worms, larvae, fish eggs and every shape that nature has the power to create.
Many of the little creatures have been magnified hundreds of times so they can be clearly seen.
