This is not a Fish

[Ellipse]

but perhaps a well know sea resident ?

This Russian family from Ekaterinburg city wanted to have some fish dinner. They opened their fish tins, put the contents of them into the plates and then the girl said: “Hey mommy, it’s not a fish!”.

Hi Ellipse,
yes it really look like something popped up from any of Alien movie sequels, but in a fact it is Rhexanella verrucosa, sea fish most common tongue parasite, there are many sub species of sea fish parasites but most of them are looking like Rhexanella except variations in color, abdomen shield, aerodynamic of extremities and place of accommodation of the host (skin, eyes...).

Rhexanella verrucosa pics are attached.

Hope this will help:))))
