A warty anglerfish, giving the appearance of an immobile sponge - or 
coralline-encrusted rock, wriggles a conspicuous lure at the end of a modified 
fin spine, left. A three-striped damselfish, Dascyllus aruanus, dashes in and 
nips at the bait, center. With a sudden burst, the aggressive mimic engulfs the 
unsuspecting prey in one of the fastest feeding events ever recorded for 
vertebrates, below. In this rare case, the anglerfish engulfed its own bait and 
has just released it, bottom, keeping the damselfish securely inside its mouth.
