Anglerfish | Most Bizarre Deep Sea Creatures Ever | Moyustore

 The anglerfish are fish of the teleost order Lophiiformes. They are bony fish named for their characteristic mode of predation, in which a modified luminescent fin ray (the esca or illicium) acts as a lure for other fish. The luminescence comes from symbiotic bacteria, which are thought to be acquired from seawater,that dwell in and around the esca.
