What pry tell would one name this lollipaloza fish?

Wow.

I remember seeing this back in September in this thread. Just think of what else we have yet to see! I think I'll just stick to land.

Still doesn't know if it's eatable.

This is why I'm scared of the ocean. As amazing as this looks, the thought of this and some big shark or some other unknown animal that is able to paralyze you just doesn't sit well when I think about swimming in the water.

What you said. Plus the feeling of unknown abyss under one's body when swimming in deep waters.

Yes "Fred" would seem appropriate......somehow....
You could drown in your bathtub and who knows what miniscule denisons harbour there......?
The Ocean is the cradle of life...not death....

I saw a really good picture on here of a giant squid, I Think it was photographed on a drilling platform. It looked so eerie on the photos, like an underwater alien.

there's my swiffer.

I need that back.
