One fish, two fish, red fish, blue fish
This deep-sea anglerfish is Chaunacops coloratus, related to one of the new species recently found in Chile on Schmidt Ocean Institute’s #SEPacificSeamounts expedition. In 2012 MBARI researchers were the first to publish observations of these rare fish in their natural, deep-sea habitat. In addition to documenting these fish walking on the seafloor and fishing with their built-in lures, the researchers discovered that the fish change color from blue to red as they get older.
C. coloratus was first described from a single specimen collected off the coast of Panama during an expedition in 1891. However, for over 100 years, marine researchers collected deep-sea fish using trawl nets and dredges, so this anglerfish was never seen alive. That changed in 2002, when researchers from MBARI, Moss Landing Marine Laboratories, and the Monterey Bay National Marine Sanctuary used the remotely operated vehicle (ROV) Tiburon to explore Davidson Seamount—an extinct volcano off the coast of Central California.
As a result of MBARI’s ROV observations, researchers also learned that C. coloratus can live as deep as 3,300 meters (11,000 feet) below the ocean’s surface. Given the great depths these fish inhabit, it is no surprise that they had never before been seen alive. It is a testament to the usefulness of ROVs, which have provided marine scientists with a new window into the deep sea. MBARI has pioneered the use of ROVs to study animals, discover new species, document previously unknown behaviors, and collect individuals in their native habitat.

I guess I’ve been in a bit of a fishy mood lately, so here’s another dice bag fish: an angler fish! >(• < •)
I used a twenty-sided die charm I made for the end of their lure. The die was one I bought, but later realized it had an imperfection in it that I didn’t care for, so I added a loop onto the area to cover it up. And now it has the perfect use! :D
I didn’t show it much in the pictures, but the zipper does get jammed at a certain spot, so his mouth doesn’t close all the way unfortunately :( I think it’s because the zipper doesn’t have enough border space on the sides, since it’s an old zipper I cut from jean scraps. I’ll have to find a replacement for it eventually, but for now, I’m still very happy with how he turned out!

[I also included a few sets of dice that I haven’t shown yet, more fuel for the hoard! >:) ]
