<meta property="og:site_name" content="livescience.com">
<meta property="og:image" content="https://cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net/W3wpBCQ4hEL4dthLYnsosK-1200-80.gif">
<meta property="og:image:width" content="1200">
<meta property="og:type" content="article">
<meta property="article:publisher" content="https://www.facebook.com/livescience?cmpid=556687">
<meta property="og:title" content="Alien shopping-bag ocean weirdo has glowing Cheetos for guts">
<meta property="og:url" content="https://www.livescience.com/alien-glowing-cheeto-sea-cucumber">
<meta property="og:description" content="The deep-sea creature surprised scientists.">
