On May 18, the nearby Seaside Aquarium posted the discovery of a glistening black blob of a fish with the approximate shape and size of a football. It had beady eyes, a startling underbite with rows of sharp tiny teeth like shards of glass, and a strange stalk protruding from its forehead like an alien antenna.
