A scary-looking creature with “devil” in its name was spotted close to the surface off Tenerife, a Spanish island.

Researchers say the new footage of the deep sea fish may be the first live sighting of the creature in daylight near the ocean's surface Brenton Blanchet is a writer-reporter at PEOPLE.

Researchers from the NGO Condrik Tenerife have captured what they say are the first images of an adult black seadevil anglerfish, also known by its scientific name Melanocetus johnsonii, alive near the ocean’s surface.
