Greetings everyone
I present to you the UNTOUCHED photo of a Red-Lipped Batfish. Isn't she beautiful? The red-lipped batfish is in the order Lophiiformes, also known as anglerfish. Anglerfish have unusual appendages on their heads called illiciums that lure in prey. Red-lipped batfish are unique in that they walk on the ocean floor using their petrel fins while hunting. They can also swim, ungainly, using a back and forth motion of their tail. Why do they have red lips? No one knows for sure.
