red hand fish

"Meet the red handfish, a name that reflects the hand-shaped fins on the sides of its body. The striking creature doesn't really swim — it 'walks' slowly along the seafloor. And until recently, researchers say they were aware of only one colony of the rare animals, with around 20 to 40 fish." NPR

"New find of red handfish doubles estimated population to between 40-80." The Guardian
