What is this dark object in the corridor?

I'm curious as to what this dark object is in the Titanic wreck. I noticed it while watching a YouTube video and it appears at the 10:31 mark.

Someone suggested it is some kind of growth. What do you think?

To me that looks like part of some modern equipment, probably used in the exploration. Some sort of marker?

Maybe. But wouldn't a marker look more like a distinct manufactured object instead of a mysterious black blob?

Ian, I think I owe you an apology and explanation. I feel like all kinds of fool!

I took another look at that still picture and realized that you were asking about the large black amorphous mass to the right of the corridor and not the vertical gizmo in the centre.

Of course the black mass is some kind of growth. Sorry about the previous posts

That's OK, no worries. Now that you mention it, what that vertical gizmo? Something to monitor the amorphous mass?

Probably part of the underwater video equipment. Perhaps even a marker. Difficult to tell from that angle.

Pretty much, nothing like that is on the wreck.

That image is a model not the actual wreck
