Eumecichthys fiski //

The unicorn crestfish lives in open water at around 1000 m (3300 ft) deep. Despite its slender body, fossils suggest that its early relatives looked more like their shorter, round-bodied cousin, the opah.

This specimen is unusual not only in its disk-like proportions and awkwardly protruding fins. It's warm blooded too.
