It lives in our Olympic Coast National Marine Sanctuary

This video, http://stageresources.com/letsgotodc/2010/12/23/flapjack-devilfish-in-olympic-coast-national-marine-sanctuary, which we believe was originally posted on YouTube in 2007, is still popping around the Internet.

So what is this creature?

Some blogger comments to the lastest posting of the video:

“I say this is one of the most adorable animals in the world, but everyone I show it to doesn’t agree.”

“It’s cute but creepy! I like it!!!!!!!!!

“It may look cute but i bet ya it’s planning to take over the world!!!”
