Blowfish

Pufferfish, also commonly known as "blowfish", consisting of members of family Tertraodontidae.

This particular called a "map puffer", has a reticulated pattern on its body with dark lines radiating from the eye.  A small, transparent shrimp of the Periclimenes genus probably gets its meals from fish parasites or leftover morsels of food.

Anoplogaster

The nightmarish Fangtooth (Anoplogaster sp.) is among the deepest-living fish ever discovered. The fish’s normal habitat ranges as high as about 6,500 ft (2,000 m), but it has been found swimming at icy, crushing depths near 16,500 ft (5,000 m). Fangtooth fish reach only about 16 cm. long.
