According to Lycos news, they found, among a zillion new species, a shark that walks around on its fins:

BANGKOK, Thailand (AP) — Scientists combing through undersea fauna off Indonesia’s Papua province said Monday they had discovered dozens of new species, including a shark that walks on its fins and a shrimp that looks like a praying mantis.

The team from U.S.-based Conservation International also warned that the area - known as Bird’s Head Seascape - is under danger from fishermen who use dynamite and cyanide to net their catches and called on Indonesia’s government to do more to protect it.

I fell like if I wasn’t easily seasick and scared shitless of poisonous marine life, diving through coral would be the most beautiful thing ever.
