"I did find a strange fish," Arceneaux said in a Facebook group called Bolivar Beachcombers. "Can someone tell me what it is?"

In the comments, many joked about the dead, lifeless fish. Jessica Galbreath called it, "My Next nightmare." However, some guess it right. Mark Fisher, the Coastal Fisheries Science Director for the Texas Parks and Wildlife Department, said the fish was in rough shape but believes it was a snapper eel.
