'Stunning deep-sea' fish spotted lurking off California coast in rare find, video shows

Maddie Capron, The Charlotte Observer - Yesterday 11:39 AM

A “cunning predator” has been lurking off California’s coast — and researchers said spotting it is a rare gift.

The ”stunning deep-sea creature” has only been spotted four times in more than three decades and 27,600 hours of deep-sea video footage, the Monterey Bay Aquarium Research Institute said.

Researchers said they spotted the deep-sea dragonfish during a recent expedition, and they were basking in the discovery.

“A remarkable sighting in the deep sea,” researchers said May 3 on Twitter. “Dragonfish lurk in the dark depths.”
