Butt Chin Fish

My favorite fish in the whole wide ocean:

I read an article about deep sea creatures a couple of days ago and some of these fish freak me out.

The Japanese spider crab, Macrocheira kaempferi, is the largest known arthropod; fully grown it can reach a leg span of almost 4 m (13 ft), a body size of up to 37 cm (15 inches) and a weight of up to 20 kg (44 lb).

  Quote

Giant Tube Worms live over a mile deep and up to several miles deep on the floor of the Pacific Ocean near black smokers and can tolerate extremely high temperatures and sulfur levels. They can reach a length of 2.4 m (7 ft 10 in).

Colossendeis - A giant deep-sea spider, nearly a foot across, is an impressive sight indeed. These animals make up for the small size of their bodies by accomodating vital organs such as gonads in their long legs. They feed upon corals and other sessile organisms, sucking up their contents through their enormous proboscis.

Fuck. Just look at it. It knows it's awesome.

I would set up a marine coral tank just to have one of those guys.  They're goddam gorgeous, but they're tricky to keep.

Gross.  Cool, but still gross.

Also, sorry about calling the mandarin a goby, I forgot it isn't technically a goby until I read the wikipedia article to find out their main food source (which I did remember is the main reason most people can't keep them alive for very long), which is copepods.

first one looks a bit like zig and zag

When I look at this thread I feel like something is going to bite my balls and yell "skree!"
