This is the bizarre moment a scuba diver lets a sea spider crawl into his mouth and ‘clean his teeth’ as he lies on the bottom of the ocean.
Peter McGuiness and his wife Belinda were diving off the coast of Amed in Bali, Indonesia, when they spotted the eerie creatures.
They filmed their guide resting his head on the sea bed and opening his mouth.

Two creatures can be seen floating near to his face before one swims into his open mouth.
The sea spider squirms around before the guide breathes out, sending it shooting backwards.
The instructor joked that the sea spider was ‘cleaning his teeth’.

Sea spiders are found in oceans across the globe, where they stride the seafloor with slow, deliberate steps.
They eat by stabbing stationary animals – such as sea anemones and sponges – with their long proboscises.
From here, they suck up tissue softened by the spider’s digestive juices.
Sea spiders don’t have gills, and instead take oxygen in via diffusion through their porous exoskeletons.
Most species of sea spider are smaller than a fingernail.
However, in the cold, oxygen-rich waters around Antarctica, giant species can grow to the size of dinner plates.
