A close-up of fish with green flesh is 1 meter long, especially on the planet

People, after much effort, have only discovered less than 5% of what is hidden in the ocean. Sometimes there are things that science has found, but for ordinary people it is still completely new.

For example, the fish in the picture below, it used to cause netizens to be crazy, thinking that the fish in the ocean were going to die. The reason is because its flesh is turquoise, like poisonous seawater is very strange.

The cotton grouper has caused fever in social networks.

It is known that this green fish is caught by a fisherman in March 2017. Because the color of the fish was so strange, he decided to post on Twitter and Instargram, to create a network storm.
