Northern Seadevil

Ceratias holboelli - Krøyer's deep sea anglerfish - Northern Seadevil

This appears to be a Ceratias holboelli Krøyer's deep sea anglerfish or Northern Seadevil. Not much is known about these strange fish. This is obviously a female since the males are much smaller and are sort of like parasites. They connect to the females and live off of them like a parasite, except they also serve reproductive purposes.
