Asterorhombus fijiensis
Angler Flatfish
Solitary. Mostly found on sandy bottoms near coastal coral and rocky reefs, where it perfectly camouflages into the environment. Its first dorsal ray has been modified into a fishing rod and lure, much like the one frogfish possess. Predates on fish and octopuses. They have been observed attacking and killing mimic, coconut octopus and wonderpus.
