This predatory fish has a distinct, glowing lure that uses bioluminescence to attract prey.

Credit: Super Joseph/Shutterstock However, these ocean-floor dwellers are distinctly-recognisable, and made famous by the film Finding Nemo. Credit: Super Joseph/Shutterstock Anglerfish first colonised the midnight zone (3,30013,100 feet), where light doesnt reach, around 55 million years ago.
