A large sea anemone that looks like a Venus flytrap. It closes its tentacles to catch prey or protect itself. This is a deep ocean species.
The Picasso spiny triggerfish is a territorial and rather aggressive fish. Although, in fairness, it must be said that fish direct all their aggressive ardor only towards representatives of their own species.
The fish has an elongated body, strongly flattened laterally. The head is also long, almost triangular in shape, with developed jaws. The dorsal plumage consists of two parts. The dorsal fin is located in the middle part of the body with a spiny ray and is small in size. With this ray, in case of danger, fish cling to the edges of the reef in a crevice and it is very difficult to just pull it out of there. The dorsal fin, located closer to the root of the tail, is long, with rounded edges. The tail is in the form of a truncated semicircle. The abdomen is white, the back is gray-green. On the head of the fish, through the gill cover and eyes, there is a dark stripe with a bluish edging. On the body there are inclined black stripes of varying widths. The size of the fish reaches 30 cm.

In the process of evolution, these species took different paths, and whales adopted life in the ocean.
