Port-and-Starboard Light Fish (Cleidopus Gloriamaris)

List of Fish
The pineapplefish, Cleidopus gloriamaris, is a species of fish in the family Monocentridae, and the sole member of its genus. It is also known as the knightfish or the coat-of-mail fish, due to the armor-like scales covering its body, and the port-and-starboard light fish, as it has a pair of bioluminescent organs that are reminiscent of navigation lights on ships.[1] Its specific epithet is from the Latin gloria and maris, meaning "glory of the sea".
