Epibulus insidiator, the slingjaw wrasse

[ilovethecine]

I'd like to calculate the suction index for that thing!

Thank you! I've been up all night googling "highly protrusible mouth" and anything else I could think of for like the past six hours because I'm writing an article about amazing animal mouth parts and saw a drawing of this when I was a kid, but didn't know the name of the fish. I was beginning to think it was fake, but I regained hope when I found (Petenia splendida) in google images. I begrudgingly searched that as a backup plan and found your video and this was linked to it. Thanks again!!!

This thing is just like the Goblin shark....only less nightmare inducing.

[Gilbarath]

upper jaw protrusion at its most extreme---increases the efficency of suction feeding and so have evolved in many different fishes

[jameslawrencecoral]

Excellent. There is a great profile of this species on the Microcosm Aquarium Explorer site under Slingjaw Wrasse.

[icebloomafoo]

My goldfishes mouths do that but obviously to a lesser extent.
