The red-lipped batfish is famous for its "flaming red lips".

The body length is up to 25 cm , the body is flattened and the tail is stubby. The head is flattened, broad, flattened. The snout is short, red, with snout spines. Big eyes.

The red-lipped batfish has a light brown body color with a grey back and a white belly.

When batfish mature, their dorsal fin becomes a spiny-like protrusion, which scientists speculate has the function of trapping prey.

The special thing is that it has four "legs", has a large head, and "walks" on the bottom of the sea with its pectoral fins. When adult, its dorsal fin grows into spines similar to the horns of the head and is projected to lure prey. The looks are really special.

Due to its poor swimming ability, this peculiar fish crawls more often on the bottom of the sea. The staple food is shrimp, molluscs, small fish, crabs and worms. It lives in the waters of the Galapagos Islands.
