I’ve never been able to find any information at all on the bottom right fish here….”kasidorom edom?” It literally only brings up these stamps, which are themselves mislabeled as “tropical” fish.

From the notes: Kasodoron edom, the bottom *left fish, is an outdated name! It is a Larval Gibberfish (Gibberichthys pumilus, i’m pretty sure?) They look crazy:

The fish lose those crazy organs later on in life, and start to look pretty normal:

(sorry i can’t find a good picture without all this artifacting, lol)

and also, the bottom *right fish is a telescope fish! who look pretty fucked up!

The vampire squid, Vampyroteuthis infernalis, has a grim reputation and name, but these gentle scavengers are "living fossils" that have remained relatively unchanged for hundreds of millions of years.

This species is the only living member of Vampyromorpha, an ancient cephalopod order that gave rise to both squids and octopuses. Vampire squids are often found in the oxygen minimum zone, an area ranging from 500 to 700 meters deep (1,640 to 2,296 feet) in Monterey Bay, which is very low in dissolved oxygen and hosts very little life within its boundaries.

Vampire squid use long feeding filaments to capture marine snow, including gelatinous zooplankton, abandoned larvacean houses, crustacean molts, dead diatoms, and fecal pellets. They can grow up to 30 centimeters (12 inches).
