Wow. Now I know what my reef tank’s been missing.
The Monterey Bay Aquarium Research Institute (MBARI) has just released images of this incredibly bizarre fish, which looks as though it were flown in from Yugopotamia. And yes, that’s a transparent head. This deep water species is able to swivel its barrel-shaped eyes upward and peer through that soft dome, giving it a nice wide field of view while remaining otherwise stationary.
Swing on over to the MBARI site for some video footage.
