Ipnops sp. HX-2024h is a species of deep-sea fish in the family Ipnopidae, known for its unique adaptation of having reduced or absent eyes, replaced by light-sensitive patches. It is found in the abyssal zones of the Pacific Ocean, thriving at depths exceeding 2,000 meters where light is nearly absent. This species plays a role in the deep-sea ecosystem as a predator and scavenger, feeding on small invertebrates and organic matter. Its discovery provides insights into the adaptations of organisms to extreme deep-sea environments.
