Anglerfish atau Lophius piscatorius, punya trik berburu unik banget. Di atas kepalanya ada umpan bioluminescent yang nyala, bikin mangsa mendekat karena penasaran dengan cahaya itu. Bukannya ngejar, anglerfish malah nungguin mangsanya sampai cukup dekat, baru disergap dalam satu gerakan cepat. Selain itu, anglerfish jago nyamar. Dia bisa ngumpet di dasar laut, nyelip di pasir atau batu, dan warnanya nyatu banget dengan lingkungan sekitar. Begitu mangsa lewat, langsung deh disambar. Predator yang
