Deep Sea larval fish

There are still creatures to be discovered in West Palm Beach Florida. Found this little cutie on a Black water dive off the coast of Florida on a night dive. This shot has been seen by many scientists, who are still amazed that a fish of this type was found off the coast of Florida. Originally believed to be a deep water resident of the Mariana Trench.
