Biologist snaps photos of a “penis fish” while diving off the Aussie coast

R&I – FS

Yeah, okay. An Australian biologist has enlightened the world to the “penis fish”: a phallic reminder that the ocean is a dark, wonderful place.

Scientifically known as Urechis Caupo, or the “fat innkeeper worm,” the penis fish is a species of spoonworm that lives buried below the soft sediment of the seabed.

While also looking near identical to a penis (including balls), these bottom-feeding critters are known as ‘innkeepers’, as other fish will also move into their cosy burrows.
