Habitat: found in the Pacific, off the coast of North America, from San Francisco, California, to central Baja California

Now here’s a fish with the epitome of a ‘big mouth.’ Meet the Sarcastic Fringehead (Neoclinus blanchardi) – an aggressive and bizarre fish that defends its territory by battling rivals with their terrifyingly large open mouths. The Sarcastic Fringeheads will press their mouths together, as if they were kissing, to determine who has the biggest mouth, and therefore the overall bigger fish. No one is safe from the Sarcastic Fringehead’s wrath, as even divers have been attacked when crossing into the fish’s territory unknowingly.

Related to corals and jellies, a siphonophore is a continuous chain of specialized polyps - individual animals that grow from one another in an organized colony. Some in the colony are devoted to feeding, armed with stinging cells to snag fish or invertebrates. Others are devoted to locomotion, propelling the whole group with a continuous pumping motion while some exist only to reproduce.
