So far I'm thinking
Viperfish
Mola Mola
Anglerfish
Oarfish
Humphead Wrasse
Telescope fish
Red lipped batfish
Barrel eye

Today's Oarfish comes from king_incarnadine! They love creating surreal works about marine life and creatures of all kinds, big and small, real and fantastical! #sealife #marine #fish #Oarfishdaily #marinelife #drawing #marineanimals
Oarfish is a long, snake like fish with long flowing frills. The frills and dorsal fins are pink and the body is cyan with dark blue stripes. The background has a pink outline, with pink stars and a bark brown backdrop.

i like it a lot
A 2016 episode of TV show River Monsters filmed two oarfish, most likely R. glesne, swimming in deep water in the middle of the Mediterranean Sea, off the coast of France.[7][6] In season 8 episode 1, titled "Deep Sea Demon" (the 47th episode of the series), River Monsters host Jeremy Wade and his crew went to a specific buoy, anchored to the seabed by a single vertical chain, where previous sightings of an oarfish had been reported. At the buoy, the water is approximately 2.4 km (1.5 mi) deep. The rarely-sighted oarfish was reported to occasionally swim up and down the chain, sometimes as close as 9.1 m (30 ft) from the surface. During Wade's second diving attempt, done around nightfall, he successfully saw first one, then two living and healthy oarfish. Wade estimated the first oarfish was roughly 2.5 times Wade's height; unofficial reports list Wade's height as 1.83 m (6.0 ft) tall,[24] meaning the oarfish was roughly 4.57 m (15.0 ft) long. The first oarfish seemed mildly curious but unafraid of Wade; it came close enough that Wade was able to reach out and gently touch it, to which the oarfish barely reacted. A little after this, the second oarfish swam up to Wade, leaving him diving in the water with two extremely rare fish. It is unknown exactly why the oarfish were there, whether they came to that location to feed, or whether or not they were a breeding pair. Both oarfish appeared to be using the buoy's chain as a point of reference in the sea. The oarfish were filmed swimming both vertically and horizontally (in reference to the vertical chain) while undulating their dorsal fins. Wade commented on how graceful and fast both oarfish were in the water. When resting next to the chain, both oarfish seemed to prefer being vertical, with their tails downward. After a while, both oarfish swam away unharmed.

Mysterious oarfish's fins inspire large underwater robot design
Researchers discovered that oarfish fin rays rotate in complete circles using ball-and-socket joints and distinct muscle groups. This mechanism allows the fish to swim forward and backward without moving its body laterally. Roboticists are using these anatomical findings to design large, silent…

Oarfish fin rays rotate independently in full circles like joysticks, inspiring plans for a quieter underwater robot. Whether other ribbon-fin swimmers have spinning rays remains unknown. doi.org/hck5pb

A photo of a rainbow-plated enamel pin featuring two oarfish-inspired creatures conjoined at the head and weaved together into a celtic knot pattern. They have eyes all along their bodies with yellow outlines and black sclera. One body has all eyes open and the other has all eyes closed. Their bodies have a blobby pattern in green, blue and pin. Their bodies are white andf their fins are light pink.
