Macropinna is the name of the extremely strange looking fish, that is probably not going to be found in your local aquariums, but is so interesting I thought it was worth a mention.

It is found at the depths of 2000 to 2600 feet and is currently being studies at the Monterey Bay Aquarium Research Institute with the help of ROV’s.
