In the Euphotic zone I picked a lantern fish. The lantern fish is a small fish that eats plankton. It can produce its own light. Thousands of lantern fish flash there tails at different times to confuse there pretaders. They also send light signals to comunicate with each other. There are over 200 species of lantern fish.
In the Aphotic zone I picked the sea cucumber. It is like starfish and sea urchins. There are 1,250 known species, and many of these animals are indeed shaped like cucumbers. All sea cucumbers are ocean dwellers, though some live the shallows and others live in the deep ocean. They live on the ocean floor. They eat algae.
In the Disphotic zone I picked the Angelshark. They live under the sand during the day and they hunt for food during the night. The have a long thin body and fins that look like wings. They live in warm oceans, and they like to eat random fish and squid. They can grow up to 5 feet long.
