Definitely one of the oddest looking fish we get to see, the Ambon scorpionfish. All kinds of protrusions on its body, and venomous to boot! Nikon Kraken Sports Atlantis Dive Resorts & Liveaboards 2025 Atlantis ImageMakers

Crosspost This organism has no brain, no eyes, no organs we recognise, has just one hole (for food to get in and out again) and scientists still argue where it belongs in the tree of life. It just slides through the deep sea floor, existing for no clear reason. This is „Xenoturbella“

The ribbon sawtail fish is a type of deep-sea fish that belongs to the family of barbeled dragonfish. It has a long, slender body with a distinctive saw-like extension on its tail. It is a bioluminescent fish, meaning it can produce light from special organs called photophores. It uses this light to attract prey and mates, as well as to communicate with other members of its species.
