WOW! Can't say as I've ever heard of or seen of one of these things before either. Learn something new every day! Pretty fascinating, really. Great find and capture.

Most unusual and very interesting. though I'm rather ttaken with that monster in the background...it looks like a Terrorfish from the old 'Stingray' series. Very cool...

Two feet long - that is what nightmares are made of. Great share Andrew. We are not going to be seeing this anywhere else. I did check the link - thanks. Dana
