Phuket deep sea creatures found on the seaside after the tsunami.

Click thumbnails to enlarge these freaky deep ocean fish.
According to snopes:

"They date from mid-2003 and were taken as part of the NORFANZ voyage, a joint Australian-New Zealand research expedition conducted in May-June 2003 to explore deep sea habitats and biodiversity in the Tasman Sea. These photographs can be viewed on Australia's National Oceans Office web site."
