      According to the Boredpanda website, most of these creatures are from Yu Haiyang, who use the "invisible" way to protect themselves.

The most strange place is long with a transparent tube barrel head and eyes. Its eyes are very sensitive to light and can be seen through the transparent, liquid head of the prey above the head, the barrel of its tubular eyes embedded in the head, covered by a bright green vitreous. In the mouth of the fish at the top of the two small spots is not eye, but its nostrils, which is similar to the human nose.
