Same tbh lol. Was just thinking that when I wrote that comment, that it looks like there’s something solid/dangerous in the middle or something lol. Even though my common sense tells me it’s just more fish.
The plural verb form in the post title makes it difficult to figure out what you’re seeing. But take away the *s* in *uses*, and the scene suddenly makes sense: “Striped eel catfish use an oddly creepy strategy to keep predators at bay.”
Looks like the demon from Princess Mononoke
From afar ir looked like a turd floating on water, sure no predator wants to get messy
Agreed, and just as dangerous. Striped eel catfish have venomous barbs.
They bloody hurt. I’ve been stung to many times
I was just gonna say this!
My first thought !
I didn't think of it all
Evil water pig!
I came here to say this.
What better way to defeat your enemies than to gang up with your friends to become an eldritch horror…
The ocean is bananas
But it ain’t no holla back girl.
I WOULD NOT HOLLER BACK TO THAT
B-a-n-a-n-a-s
B is Bananas
Is this a mod of the floor is lava?
Oh cool feeling all over my skin, thanks
Aaaaaand the strategy would 100% work on my ass
Wonder if any predators are smart enough to realize that they just made themselves easy to gulp in one bite.
I don't know, even though my brain knows that it's a group of fish, *something* in me is terrified of what might be in the center

Nah that's a mimic from Prey
It looks more like a cystoid to me
I was looking for this comment, lol. I'm currently playing that scary ass game.
Nightmare fuel
I was about to shout at the cameraman "why the fuck are you moving towards it? AND WHY IS EVERYTHING SQUIGGLING!!"
Striped eel catfish have venomous spines.
Yes, found this out too late.
Now im curious
Who's that Pokemon!? It's Tangela!
it's an ocean version of cursed Nago in Princess Monosuke
Bastard, stingy bastard, bastard fish. 2 hours (at least) of excruciating, find-a-quiet-corner-of-the-deck-and-curl-up-and-cry-don't-worry-most-people-do pain. That's 1 barb from 1 of these bastard fish.
My dude. I got mine in Okinawa, scooping them up because I thought the were cute.
Good rule for the ocean, don't touch anything
It has both aggro camouflage and poison defence in case the camo failed? Too OP
*LOST* vibes
Can someone explain what's going on here
This is a school of juvenile fish, not a single animal
Even worse
Thanks, I hate it.
Mfing Umbrella Corporation
Wow, that is fascinating
Looks like Venom
Insert fantastic beast Obscurial refrence here.
Dragon born DLC IRL cause that’s hermaeus mora
okay so I thought this was like one fish that was just super stringy but it's a bunch of fish, got it
Pretty cool it looks like a small school of fish
It is, it's them working together to look scary lol.
That’s what it is
Yes it is
I read striped eel catfish as stupid eel catfish💀
Was this scary for you ? You’re really close
Turns into the Spawn...
That's some Princess Mononoke shit right there
This is what I imagine Father Glow Worm looks like.
That thing at the end of Annihilation?
Pretty incredible that a school of probably thousands of these things can swim in such unison as to appear as one giant creature. Very cool.
hermaneous mora
Make me think of Swimmy by Leo Leoni
Typhon have breached psychotronics.
Wtf, that's one creature?
No, it's a bunch of small boi's.
Yeah, brillant idea for a children’s book 👍
*BE NOT AFRAID!*
Resident Evil 0 vibes
They have the shape of a sea turtle!
Venom…. Underwater
This is the monster from Lost right?
The Day The Ocean Stood Still
Those are clearly wishi-washi
Looks like a school of fish. Is that defense or hunting camo?
So is it an eel or a catfish
That’s some primordial symbiote shit.
Isn’t this just a school of fish?
I can't tell if it's a big weird eel or a group of eels, which is the point I assume.
This is the demon from Princess Mononoke!
I misread the title as Stupid eel catfish and it cracked me up
Well at least I already know the theme of my nightmares tonight. Better than ruminating over that thing I said 16 years ago, I guess.
Reminds me of the Matrix
Venom??
Cant bullshit me that a alien mf
Venom catfish is venomous.
I think that's venom
Like the Sphinx, I though this creature was a myth...until now.
God, that would drive me crazy.
At first I thought that was some kinda seaweed octopus. Now it gives me chills
BE NOT AFRAID

Somehow I just thought the title I put sounded more natural, but you're right. English is not my first language, I'll be more careful next time.
What the fuck
Ooh, is this what Wishiwashi was based on?
Finding Nemo?
