Deep Sea Monsters

Apparently some fish in the deep sea hide very well. How do they manage it?

They're not just black.

They're ultra-black. These fish absorb nearly all of the light touching their skin, allowing them to sneak up on bioluminescent prey.

Which might help us design even blacker materials than the blackest we've managed so far.

Kind of sucks for the little glowy fish, though.
