Pink See-Through Fantasia

You can be sure that this animal truly lives up to its name since there's no way an animal that managed to acquire the name "pink-see-through fantasia" is anything but strange. To be honest, you do have a choice because the scientific term for his deep sea cucumber is enypniastes, and some people also refer to it as the headless chicken fish.

The cucumber has transparent skin and emits bioluminescence to fend off predators. That makes sure that no matter what angle you're looking at it from, its mouth, stomach, and anus are all visible. Its length, which is only four to nine inches, is also rather short.

This beast is unlikely to be encountered during your own travels. Although they have a range of around 1,000 meters up and down through the water column, it hangs out at depths of around 2,500 meters. They swim with small webbed fins and feed sediment with the help of tiny tentacles.
