Watch rare endangered pink handfish walking in 19th-century shipwreck off Tasmania

Scuba divers exploring a shipwreck off the coast of Tasmania got a huge surprise when they spotted an extremely rare pink handfish, and managed to capture the elusive creature on video. 

The handfish (Brachiopsilus dianthus) was hidden among the coral-covered debris, with its hand-like pectoral fins extended. There have been only a handful of encounters with the pink handfish since the species was discovered in 1947.
