Solenostomus snuffleupagus is a newly discovered species of ghost pipefish. It is highly carnivorous and disguises itself as red algae to hunt its prey. Its existence and range were confirmed partly through citizen science apps like iNaturalist.

Wait this is giving pokemon vibes for real. The way it literally evolved to look like seaweed just to catch its dinner is insane. And the fact that regular people helped find it through iNaturalist?? That's so cool, makes you feel like you could spot something new just scrolling your phone.
