Oh, I like this. It's kind of like a flounder. I wonder if it tastes good.
"Sharps bobs" should be "sharp bobs".
"Foul smelling" would be easier to parse as "foul-smelling", though it is still correct.
"Genetic payloads" sounds like an awfully casual or military-like phrasing; "gametes" would make more tonal sense.
"as they do so, they do so while ever" That loop doesn't sound right. Did you mean to replace that with "they are ever wary of Scylarians"?

Ah, thanks. I made the edits. I saw the description of the Flabnose, with its lure-like "nose", I figured an angler fish-like species had potential in this.

I’m guessing that its mouth is shut tight underneath the lure and when it eats, the mouth becomes extremely wide?

Yep. As seen in this image, this one is just about to lunge forward, and has opened its jaws in anticipation.

Really? I thought that lower flap was one of its forelimbs. Shading might help clarify its anatomy.

Edited the image a bit.

That looks better now.
