Master of illusion We just had to show off our little friend, Batty McBatface, before he heads away to a new public aquarium project. He's a juvenile pinnate batfish and exhibits Batesian mimicry, having the colour and markings of as well as perfectly imitating the movement and positioning of a species of toxic flatworm (Pseudoceros periaurantius).

Red-Lipped Batfish: Why This Deep-Sea Creature Looks So Bizarre

The batfish and its secret weapon

This is the WORST Tank Mate Pt. 3 The marine batfish is a stunning sight, with beauty that's hard to rival in the underwater world.

With its bright crimson lips, this fish looks like it’s wearing lipstick — a trait scientists believe may help it attract mates or recognize its own species. But beauty isn’t its only oddity.
