Squatina (Squatinidae)
Sometimes referred to as "Monkfish," Angelsharks are often mistaken for a skate or ray, but a deeper look at the pectoral fins reveals the contrast. In skates and rays, the pectoral fins are always attached to their head. In Angel sharks and other flat sharks, that is never the case.
Angelsharks are Ambush Predators, meaning they hunt by sitting stationary and capturing their prey with their stealth.
