Normally seen from above, have you ever wondered what the belly of a Chaunacops looks like?
This incredible little fish - known commonly as a ‘sea toad’ or ‘coffin fish’, is a species of anglerfish. The genus Chaunacops has three different species, all easily recognizable by their orange or red coloration. Ambush predators who generally stick to the seafloor, this individual swam to the water column up as ROV Hercules approached, allowing our team a spectacular view of its form. This clip shares a great view of the reduced and modified pectoral fins which are adapted to aid the fish perching on seafloor lava flows. Note the tiny white dot between the eyes - its bioluminescent lure, which folds out to lure in her next meal.
