Fish often have cool as hell skulls so I am going to show off some!
First off, here is a swordfish. One of the few fish where nearly anyone could correctly guess the identity!

And for the other extreme, this is a halfbeak. These are related to needlefishes which are predatory. However many halfbeaks are omnivores to even full on herbivores feeding on seagrasses.

Another favourite of mine is the Atlantic Wolffish. These fish use their front fangs to grab an unlucky crab and then use those back molar-like teeth to crush em up. Absolutely insane skulls on these lads.

Another crazy skull is that of the deep sea Pelican eel. As you can see, 99% of the skull is dedicated to those scoop-like jaws and the rest of the head is just in that tiny bony box where the jaws hang off from. Living in a food poor environment does weird shit to your anatomy.

That is all for now, might post more when I have time.

Clownfish are awesome, they have a very stylish pattern with beautiful colors, their house is made of poison and they can change genders at will

It's funny how people just call clownfishes Nemo nowadays.

Went to an aquarium once and a kid next to me pointed at a clownfish tank and screamed on top of his lungs "LOOK MOM, A BUNCH OF NEMOS!!!!". Can't blame the kid, they are awesome

Still, I think swordfishes are the coolest sea creatures around (yes, even cooler than sharks)

Gotta give a shout-out to nature for spawning the Anglerfish. Ensuring that it's prey die experiencing maximum terror for having the gall to approach one of the sole sources of light in the inky blackness.

Those bubble eyes are the pugs of goldfish. Was told never to place any item with sharp edges into their tank as some nasty accidents could happen. Domestication can truly create unfortunate creatures.
