Fangtooth
Fangtooths, also known as ogrefishes, are deep-sea, ferocious-looking beryciform fish of the family Anoplogastridae (sometimes incorrectly spelt "Anoplogasteridae"). With a circumglobal distribution in tropical and cold-temperate waters, the family contains only two very similar species with no known close relatives: the common fangtooth, Anoplogaster cornuta, found worldwide; and the shortthorn fangtooth, Anoplogaster brachycera, found in the tropical waters of the Pacific and Atlantic Ocean.
