Nice! I haven't run across one of these in a long time, yet it remains one of my more memorable finds for some reason.

I always wonder where in the world that name comes from?

The name Squatinella? It's a diminutive from Squatina, the angel sharks, which have a vaguely similar shape if you ignore the paired fins. If you are interested and will forgive some self-promotion I have tried to collect some etymologies on my page where I could figure them out.

This is a lovely video, especially how well it shows the eyes. :)
