Bizaare creature..

Sometimes the stars, the moon and the planets align and magic happens. An incredibly rare deep water Cusk Eel makes an appearance off Palm Beach, Florida during a blackwater dive over deep water.
Apparently a new unnamed Leptobrotula species first described in 2003 from 2 specimens collected in the Indo-Pacific!!
