Image Boss! (no politics, no sexy pics) Have fun. ❤️

Hahaha reminds me of a blind date I had back in high school! :smiley: Okay you’re the winner haze! :slight_smile:

Me? Yaaay! :person_with_crown:

Blind date with three beauties? Lucky you! :smiley:

Le’me see some sea monstrosities ekhm, beauties, the weirder the better.

Just like this perfect killing machine:

Here's something called a Sea Pig.

The very weird looking goblin shark

Pacific Barreleye Fish

The head is transparent so it can see its prey above it in the water.

I've seen a lot of pics of the goblin shark, but that's the best and most disturbing.

Yes it’s almost unbelievable that it’s real, but it is - though this one may be starting to get a little dried out. Pretty well anything that lives at great depths is weird, I suppose they have to specialise in a way of feeding to the point the rest of the body is kinda left behind. Eyes are useless at those depths, though some still see and hunt with light - fascinating down there, and I bet we haven’t seen much of it yet.

Never heard about sea pig, strange creature. And what’s inside? :disappointed:

Goblin shark - not ageing with class like a wine, that’s for sure :wink: Or is that just unicorn who do the drugs?

Barreleye Fish is definitely weird, with nostrils looking like eyes, eyes looking like marble balls.
And with the rest looking like content of average politician’s head :smiling_imp:

This magnificently creepy sea monster washed up on the shore of Laguna Beach, California about a month ago.

It is most likely a Pacific Football Fish.

Red-lipped Batfish - complete with lippy!

Mushrooms anyone?

Oops made mistake and posted land but suppose to post sea creatures.

Bobbit Worm

Thanks for all photos, Guys.

Big eye fish and sea pig really surprised me, didn’t know these species and I’m quite familiar with bizarre marine life examples.
But Pacific Barreleye Fish is the biggest alien of all above to me. I knew it before, but it’s the weirdest path in evolution here.
And its Latin name has funny origin as well :smiley:
Opisthoproctidae is derived from the Greek words opisthe (“behind”) and proktos (“anus”).

Northbeard, you’re the boss, pom pom crab cheers you up! :slight_smile:

Thanks kindly!

Keeping undersea for a bit, show me strange coral growths

So many hues!

Strange coral in waters of Curaçao, near Venezuela.

(I'm kinda breaking the no sexy pics rule, so hopefully Mr. Admin doesn't mind too much.)

This one is quite strange, I mean one in the middle:

This absolutely stunning colony of Symphyllia wilsoni from Extreme Corals DE is one of those stupendous corals that has it all: a colorful mantle, contrasting oral disc, orange mouths all riding a perfect shape colony that is just begging to be someone’s centerpiece coral.

Not the responses I was expecting - must be my bad breath or something…

But this one from haze is definitely pretty weird.

Take it away haze
