Transparent head fish! Yum.

The two green orbs sitting inside the clear head are the eyes, by the way.

Eew.

There's a small chance this is photoshopped.

 

[13 Spider Bloody Chain]

I say thee nay, cur.

 

[Swadius 2.0]

I'm convinced, I wonder what they taste like...

 

[gamerwiz09]

Hehe. I didn't get what 'tubular eyes' meant at first, and now I do. Thanks for the video.

 

[Fall of Denial]

Apears intelligent.

 

[Aendor]

Apears intelligent.

Which cannot always be said of "higher" organisms... 

That is quite possibly the strangest creature I have ever seen. 

I wonder what it would fetch in Japan...

 

[AWdeV]

Huh neat. It'd fetch a ****load of strange hentai in Japan, what else?

 

[Sir Prince]

I like it.

 

[FrisianDude]

I say thee nay, cur.

How does linking the same clip on a different site convince anyone?

Anyway, pretty cool critter, but why is it so black? (except the head and tail?)

Techno-fish, tastes just like ecstasy

Because they're filming with UV light. It's not actually black, but the body is evolved to focus as much light as possible towards the eyes at it's head.

 

[FrisianDude]

Eh.. oh?

 

[uncreative]

The "face" looked strangely humanoid, some eyesocket like things there despite the eyes being inside the body...

Because he seemed to have missed the video on the page with the article.

Things from the vast abyss tend to be rather ugly ones - more often than not at least. I hereby present to you; the goblin shark. If I'm not all mistaken they caught one in Tokyo Bay not too long ago.

This is great. Another set of pictures to add to my collection. 

I could go on for hours about weird deep-sea creatures. Batfish and frogfish, siphonophores and stoplight loosejaws. Fascinating stuff.
