![]() While hunting, it will face the current, standing on the substrate and perching about 3 ft above the seafloor with its elongated fins. Tripod fish are mainly a solitary benthic species, living alone close to the ocean floor throughout their adult life. When two tripod fish mate, one broadcasts sperm and the other eggs into the water column. When self-fertilization occurs, the tripod fish spawns both sperm and eggs into the water column. If this fish cannot find a mate due to its predominantly solitary existence in a harsh environment, it can fertilize its own eggs, thus ensuring the survival of the species. Tripod fish are simultaneously or synchronously hermaphroditic, possessing both male and female reproductive organs that mature at the same time. To increase its chances of obtaining food, the tripod fish faces into the direction of water movement, staying still, and waiting for food to arrive. They will eat small planktonic crustaceans, zooplankton, and any tiny organism that drifts through the current. Acting as hands, these long pectoral fins will then capture the food and direct it towards its mouth, which has a large gape. It depends on its long and feathery pectoral fins to alert it when it senses food. Tripod fish spends most of their life perched on its fins on the ocean floor waiting for a meal to come by. The modified fins grow to about 1 m (3.3 ft) or approximately three times its body length. The common body length is around 30.0 cm (12 in.) with a maximum length of about 37 cm (14 in.). Their color ranges from bronze to pale with gray on the head, belly, and along the lower back. The eyes have been significantly reduced and almost disappeared since it lives in the deep ocean where it is dark. Its pectoral fins, known as tactile organs, extend upward to detect prey much like antennae. These rays are rigid while the fish perches over the substrate, but appear to be flexible when the fish swims away. These extremely long rays stick out of the pelvic fins as well as the lower caudal, or tail, fin. This relatively small fish has modified pelvic and caudal fins that are elongated at the tips, called rays or elements. Known to be a resident of the midnight and abyssal zones, tripod fish inhabit the deep ocean floor at depths ranging from about 900 to 4,700 m (2,950 to 15,400 ft).
