This cute little coffinfish or sea toad in the anglerfish family Chaunacidae was seen at a depth of 2,362 meters (7,749 feet) during Dive 13 of the 2021 North Atlantic Stepping Stones expedition. This may have been a depth record for this kind of fish! Other fish seen during this dive included a large antimora and two (potentially the same) white halosaurs.
