#constellation fish

The Five-Lined Constellation fish is a cryptid fish seen by William Beebe during one of his bathysphere dives in the deep waters around Bermuda in the 1930s. Beebe dubbed this fish Bathysidus pentagrammus and described it as being disc-like in appearance and on each side of its body were five lines of bright yellow bioluminescent lights, each surrounding by smaller purple lights.

Beebe said of the fish, “in my memory, it will live throughout my life as one of the loveliest things I have ever seen.”
