Meet the mesmerizing new addition to our Into the Deep/En lo Profundo exhibit, rough snailfish! These ethereal charmers live in the benthic zone, a scientific term for the seafloor. They use frilly fins on their chins to feel out prey like small crustaceans. 🦀 So don’t worry if you see a snailfish wriggling in place on exhibit—they’re just snacking or resting on the rocks like they would in their benthic home! 🖤 Fall’s the perfect time to cozy up to snailfish and other wondrous deep-sea animal
