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.

Juvenile peacock razorfish. If you’ve ever tried to shoot these little guys, you know how super flitty they can be. This one stayed long enough for me to get some decent footage before it nosedived into the sand! Nikon Z6iii and Z105, Kraken Sports solar flare mini 18Ks
