This is the eye-popping moment a diver encounters 'the strangest fish in the Caribbean' strolling along the seabed, using its fins for legs.

The rare creature, a shortnose batfish, was filmed in a muddy channel called French Key Cut on the island of Roatán, Honduras.

Spotted by Mickey Charteris, who has spent years chronicling marine life around the region, he said the sea beast might just be the weirdest he's seen.

Diver Mickey Charteris, who has spent years chronicling marine life around the region, said the creature might just be the weirdest he's ever seen 'It's hands down the strangest fish in the Caribbean,' he said. 'It walks slowly searching for prey like crabs and small fishes, but can swim with its tail if it gets spooked. 'It resembles a lump of brown sponge that mated with a unicorn.' In the diver's footage, the shortnose batfish can be seen with a horn on its head, pushing itself along the seabed with its fins.
