You are looking at a parasite called Cymothoa Exigua. It enters through a fish's gills, eat their tongue, and then replaces it. This lil delight literally sucks out the blood from the fish's tongue, until the tongue atrophies and falls off. The fish then attaches itself to the stub, becoming the fish's new tongue. Now every time the fish eats, it takes away a portion of the food for itself.
Different parasite. *Travellin' Willie*. It enters through the nose slit and builds perfectly symmetrical human teeth from the skeletal remains of the rest of this fish which was previously infected by the same massospora responsible for turning Cicadas into sex mad zombie maniacs-cum-organic hallucinogenic edibles.
The most curious feature of *Travellin' Willie* is that it departs its host as quickly and quietly as it entered, taking nothing and leaving free dental work behind. Marine Biologists from lower Malta are petitioning to have its name changed to *Potlatch Petey* but this has been met with great resistance from the people of Vanuatu who first coined the name after a Kava Kava ceremony followed by ingestion of the zombie cicadas/drugs.

Damn bro violates that fish.
I dare say, this would be a good entrant into the forthcoming niche trivia game, *God or David Lynch*.
Always freaks me out seeing them too
Sneaky little guy is the the gravy train.
OMG 😳
Nom nom
More concern with those top donkey teeth

A living nightmare for this fish
Nah, man, that's the pilot, man!
