The term deep sea creature refers to organisms that live below the photic zone of the ocean.
These creatures must survive in extremely harsh conditions, such as hundreds of bars of pressure,
small amounts of oxygen, very little food, no sunlight, and constant, extreme cold.
It´s alive (but maybe about to die since it seems to be kept in an aquarium and these fishes require very specific conditions and are all known to die when kept at the surface). But sometimes you can see a bit of his lights (a pity that it wasn´t filmed at full darkness and that the fish wasn´t wanting to light up that much). This species even have a bioluminescent organ that produces purple light close to his eye.
