[edit] Anglerfish
After Dory dropped P. Sherman's diving mask, both she and Marlin venture into a deep-sea trench in order to search for it. Marlin and Dory were in complete darkness, only to be entranced by a soft blue light, which turned out to be the lure of a vicious deep-sea anglerfish. Marlin uses its lure to give Dory the light needed to read the writing on the strap of the mask. After the credits roll, there's a scene where Blenny swims in the darkness before a light appears, a few moments later the angler fish appears out of the dark, only to be eaten by Blenny.

It is an Angler. Not sure the of the exact type. They are named Anglers because they literally fish for food. Just like in the movie, they dangle their 'lure" in front of their mouths to draw in fish that plan to eat the wriggling worm, and then snap!!
The one in the movie is a deep sea angler which is why it uses the light. Frog, and toad fish are also anglers i believe. They live in shallower waters around reefs and so do not use the light approach.

In my opinion it is a fish from the Tetraodontidae family of primarily marine and estuarine fish. The most common species of this family are puffers, balloonfish, blowfish, bubblefish, globefish, swellfish, toadfish, and toadies, so i would say it has to be one of them because this is the closest type of fish matching to its outer appearance. I hope this helped =D
