Arrow wriggler

The arrow wriggler (Tyson belos), also known as Tyson's wriggler, is a species of fish that wriggles around to move like other wrigglers.  It was discovered in 1983. The fish can be found across the West Pacific Ocean, in places like Flores in Indonesia, the Trobriand Islands, the Great Barrier Reef in Australia, the Solomon Islands, Vanuatu, and Fiji. It lives 10 to 30 meters (33 to 98 feet) underwater.
