The ultra-black Pacific blackdragon (Idiacanthus antrostomy), the second-blackest fish studied by the research team.

Scientists have discovered one of the blackest materials on Earth. This material reflects less than 0.5 of the light that hits it and surprisingly this blackest material is present on the skin of deep-sea fish that use their blackness as camouflage from predators.

According to reports, some of the deep-sea fish have ultra-black skin capable of soaking up almost all light that hits it and consequently makes the fish nearly invisible.
