Dragon in the deep. 🐉
Dragonfish (family Stomiidae) are cunning predators. Although they are strong swimmers, they prefer to lie in wait and ambush unsuspecting fishes and crustaceans. This black dragonfish (Idiacanthus sp.) was spotted at 527 meters (1,729 feet) in Monterey Bay.

dragonfish are cunning predators. despite being strong swimmers they're rather reserved and prefer a wait and ambush approach
