What organism eats the tripod fish?

It's possible you're thinking of a different type of fish, perhaps one with a unique appearance or habitat. Could you provide more information, such as:

* What does the fish look like? (e.g., does it have legs, tentacles, or any other distinctive features?)

* Where did you hear about this fish? (e.g., a book, a movie, a website)

Once you give me more details, I might be able to help you find the information you're looking for.
