In an interview with local medіа, Beiler said that this fish is very large with a length of about 30cm.
“I have never seen anything like it before. At first, I thought it was a jellyfish or something, then I looked at it a little more closely and I realized it was a fish,” Beiler told NBC 7 San Diego.
