The tripod fish is a deep-sea resident that sits on its tripod fins at almost all hours of the day (Although I guess when you're that deep, there is no "day"). They wait until small animals swim into their fins and go in for an attack. On occassion, they are known to walk along the sea floor with their tripod 'legs.'
That's about all that's known about them. Here's a video -- though it doesn't really show a lot that the picture doesn't.
