I will begin this thread with the giant Oarfish (Regalecus glesne), a truly magnificent creature which - when seen at the surface - was probably the inspiration for many a sea serpent tale.
At up to 17 metres in length, having a vivid red cox-comb 'mane' and with a beautiful rainbow of irridescent colours when alive, it must be one of the most wonderful fish in the sea.
There are loads of photos on the net, here are just a few.
