👹Does Halloween have you feeling as ghoulish as this sea critter?

🐟The bearded ghoul fish (Inimicus didactylus) lurks on the ocean floor in the Indo-Pacific, using its pectoral fins to pull itself along the sand. When hungry, it buries itself beneath the sand and, with its upward-facing eyes, seeks out small fish to ambush. Few animals dare to eat the bearded ghoul, as it can inject a powerful venom via its dorsal spines—which is why this fish is also known as the demon stinger.
