Distribution

This species occurs in the Pacific Ocean off California.

gollark: In practice in chemistry, you can't use the lower-level laws as much as is possible in physics.
gollark: Physics has fairly simple laws from which other stuff can be derived. Chemistry contains 198791874819471984712849 rules for 1092471894712894 situations which also won't work in another 1748917240891274089124. This is uncool.
gollark: They are of course not negatively affected by it due to femtoapioformic shielding.
gollark: Chemistry is an uncool science, so our nanobots ignored it by just disassembling unwanted molecules.
gollark: They did this, but only after self-replicating using some unwanted pixels as feedstock.
