Meet your new favorite anglerfish—the flowery goosefish (Lophiodes miacanthus). 🎣🩵

This anglerfish belongs to the family Lophiidae, also known as the goosefishes. This group of alluring anglers uses their speckled coloration to blend into the sandy seafloor on the continental shelf.

Like other anglerfish, these bulbous beauties have a “fishing pole” projecting from their heads. Each species of anglerfish has its own unique rod and lure—some have simple lures, some have elaborate ones, and some even have multiple lures. Instead of expending energy to chase food, hungry anglerfish merely set out their bait and wait. While some deep-sea anglers use bioluminescent bait to catch their next meal, species that frequent the seafloor flick a frilly, decorative lure to draw in potential prey.
