Chascanopsetta crumenalis is a deep-sea flounder with a very large and stretchable mouth. It lies on the sea bottom and uses its mouth like a pouch to capture prey.
Chascanopsetta crumenalis differs from other flounders by its huge expanding mouth. It is important for deep-sea ecosystems because it regulates the number of small animals on the bottom.
Immature form that undergoes metamorphosis before adulthood.
