The creature, with its huge chin and lumpy head, makes a good case for being the ugliest fish in the world, a title that’s currently held by the famous Blobfish.

It’s a type of Asian sheepshead wrasse that feeds on shellfish and crustaceans.
This particular specimen is thought to be around 30 years old and has certainly made a splash with animal lovers.
It’s thought that water-dwelling ‘Shrek’ has never been caught on camera before, so take a look at the video below to see him in action.
Sea-ing is believing!
