The name ‘fringehead’ refers to the floppy fronds of tissue that fall over the fish’s eyes, while the term ‘sarcastic’ is thought either to describe the animal’s sardonic closed-mouth expression, or to derive from the Greek word sarkázein, which means ‘to tear flesh’. Either way, the only thing that’s cutting about this fish is its set of teeth.
