so ghostly, so pretty! More on the expedition that found it at BBC. "It is unbelievably fragile, and when it swims, it looks like it has wet tissue paper floating behind it. And it has a weird snout—it looks like a cartoon dog snout."

Exquisite and alien and graceful! Languid and glorious. Thank you for posting this. (Fish can hardly ever be other than beautiful or amazing, can they?)

It looks like the ghost of a puppy.

The adorable ghost of an adorable puppy.
