Red lipped batfish found in the very bottom of the sea where the deep sea vents or sea springs reside.

Also known as the Galapagos batfish, this oddball seafloor dweller is a poor swimmer that spends an abundance of time “walking” on its pectoral fins. In addition to its freaky walking ability, its body is covered in gnarled lumps, so it’s no wonder this warm wa'ter species looks like it’s wearing lipstick—how else could it get a date?
This deep ocean dweller has a head and teeth that are like something out of Alien. Since its hideous looking face isn’t going to attract any prey, the Dragonfish has a barbel attached to its chin, tipped with a light-producing photophore. This fish draws you in and then takes you out.
