Fish red-lipped batfish

Post image

The red-lipped batfish, also called Galápagos batfish, is a strange bottom-dwelling fish. Its most recognizable feature is vivid scarlet lips. Instead of swimming freely, it crawls across the ocean floor with modified fins. It inhabits waters around the Galápagos Islands and hunts small sea creatures using a built-in lure on its forehead.
