Behold the coffinfish!
The coffinfish is found off the coast of Australia and can inflate itself to look larger than it really is. A member of the sea toad family, it’s also covered with small spines. As an “anglerfish,” it has a small lure that it can display to attract prey.
The Monterey Bay Aquarium, perched on the edge of a world-famous coastline, is your window to the wonders of the ocean. It’s located on historic Cannery Row in Monterey and is open daily except Christmas Day.
