    Ghost flatheads are a family, Hoplichthyidae, of scorpaeniform fishes native to the Indo-Pacific Oceans. The genus Monhopolichthys is of uncertain status and in need of further investigation. They are benthic from about 10m to 1500m

    They look like creatures from another planet, but these weird specimens are all marine life captured by talented underwater photographer Kei Nomiyama.

    In his photo series Blackwater, the 36-year-old presents the amazing creatures discovered in the sea at night.

    His work includes the quirky sight of a 'jellyfish rider', a lobster larvae hitching a ride on a hapless jellyfish, and the Phronima Sedentaria, a species of amphipod crustacean, that Kei says reminds him of the sci-fi film 'Aliens'.

    Kei explains: "I live in Matsuyama city at Shikoku island, smallest of the four main islands in Japan. I mainly take these photos at Omi-island in Yamaguchi-prefecture. The Omi-island is located in the south of the main island of Japan and facing the Sea of Japan.

    The Happiest Swimmer in the Ocean

    THE HAPPIEST SWIMMER IN THE OCEAN

    The credit has crunched, the weather is cold, but nothing can wipe the smile from this little fellow's face.

    Called a Piglet Squid, this sea creature always looks cheerful thanks to what appears to be a huge grin.

    About the size of a small orange, the squid - Latin name Helicocranchia pfefferi - can commonly be found in deepwater (greater than 100m) in most of the world's oceans.

    But this cute chap is more distinctive than most thanks to pigments which dot its skin - making it seem like the happiest swimmer in the ocean.

    Scientists gave it the name thanks to its tuft of eight arms and two tentacles on its 'head', as well as its habit of looking porky when inflated with water.

    Its body is almost totally clear revealing a dark mass that is the internal organs and barely visible, feather-like gills. It also has a large light producing organ (photophore) beneath each of its eyes.

    The picture was taken by California's Cabrillo Marine Aquarium. CMA Director Mike Schaadt says: "Our photographer Gary Florin took a marvellous picture of this rarely seen yet fairly common member of the deep sea plankton community. The angle Gary took the picture at makes it look comical."
