What eats Tripod fish?

The tripod fish is also known as the batfish or the triplewart seadevil. It is native to the warm waters of the Indian and Pacific oceans, and is found at depths of up to 1,500 meters (4,900 feet). The tripod fish is a carnivorous predator that feeds on other small fish and invertebrates. It is also known to cannibalize its own young. The tripod fish has three long, spiny appendages that project from its head, and these are used to attract prey. The fish will sit motionless on the ocean floor, using these appendages to mimic a piece of seaweed or other debris. When a small fish or invertebrate comes close, the tripod fish will quickly snap its jaws shut, capturing the prey.
