Description
The Triplewart Seadevil is a deep-sea anglerfish known for its bioluminescent lure used to attract prey in the dark ocean depths. Females are significantly larger than the parasitic males, reaching up to 18 inches in length. This species inhabits the bathyal and abyssal zones of all major oceans, making it unsuitable for typical home aquariums.
