The Scripps Institution of Oceanography has since identified the animal as a Pacific Footballfish, one of the larger species of anglerfish with a maximum length of 2 feet, NBC reported. A gruesome-looking footballfish gave beachcombers the fright of their lives after it was spotted washed ashore on a San Diego beach Tuesday. His photos show the critter, which sports rows of undulating teeth and a fleshy tassel atop its head like if a sea bass was designed by Tim Burton. “It’s the stuff of nightmares - mouth almost looked bloody!” exclaimed Beiler, who estimated the sea creature to be about a foot long. By that time, a large crowd of curious onlookers had gathered around to gawk at his find. Initially thinking the critter was a “jellyfish,” the beach-goer realized upon closer inspection that it was, in fact, a fish, Storyful reported.
“I have never seen anything quite like this before,” Jay Beiler, who took the photos, told NBC of the sea monster, which he stumbled upon on Torrey Pines State Beach.
