Pink frogmouth fish


This fish, originally thought to be a pink deepsea anglerfish (Chaunax pictus), tries to scare off the Johnson Sea-Link by raising itself on its pelvic fins. Also seen in the photo are white deepsea branching corals
. The fish has subsequently been identified as a redeye gaper.
