Its the one that lives at the bottom of the sea, has a big mouth with big teeth and has, what looks like a torch on its head that attracts other fish to it so it can eat them?

That big dude? That's an Angler, a deep sea angler.
They look like this in real life:

They look pretty freaky but actually they're only about the size of a human hand.

Deep sea angler
Seriously - why the thumbs down - it is. see below:
Deep sea angler Ceratias hölbolli Krøyer 1844
[Jordan and Evermann, 1896-1900, p. 2729 (young as Mancalias uranoscopus Murray); p. 2730 (young as Mancalias shufeldti [Gill]); Barbour and Bigelow, Proc. New England Zool. Club, vol. 23, 1944, p. 16 (adult, as Reganichthys giganteus, new genus and species); Clarke, Discovery Rept., vol. 26, 1950, p. 1 (adult).]
Figure 288.—Deep sea angler (Ceratias hölbolli), adult female (above) and parasitic male (right) that was attached to her, off Mount Desert Rock. From Barbour and Bigelow.
Description—
This deep sea angler is so bizarre in its appearance that there is no danger of confusing it with any other Gulf of Maine fish, unless it were with some other member of its own family. In the large female, the body is strongly flattened sidewise; the eyes are very small and set high on the head; and the mouth is nearly vertical when it is closed. Perhaps their most striking external feature is the very long and extremely slender bristlelike spine or "tentacle," that is borne on the top of the head. This is jointed about two-thirds the way out along its length, and it ends in a fleshly, pear-shaped swelling ("illicium"), the tip of which is described as pierced by a small pore.[95] The illicium is supposed to be luminous,[96] and it bears 2 to 4 short filaments.[97] This head tentacle corresponds to the whiplike head spine of the goosefish, but is situated farther back, about abreast of the eyes. It is interpreted as representing a vestige of the first dorsal fin. The basal [page 544] joint of the head tentacle is provided with retractor muscles by which it can be withdrawn rearward into a tunnel-like sheath along the head and back, bringing the "bait" close to the mouth.

People aren't reading the question right. She doesn't want to know what kind of fish nemo is, but rather the fish that has the light he follows when he goes into the depths of the sea. The first poster is right, it is a Deep Sea Angler.

Hi there, the fish you're talking about is an Angler Fish, so called because the tentacle looks like a fishing rod, used to attract then kill other fish.

I only answered to make a comment cause the first guy answered it PERFECTLY.
I just think it's funny that so many people said clown fish, obviously they didn't read the details of the question.
And for the person that said Parahna... well parahna are river fish they don't live in the ocean.

The deep sea angler is that fish.
And please, everyone, read the question! She's asking for the fish that lives at the bottom of the ocean wiith big mouth and teath witha torch on it's head. She IS NOT asking for what type of fish Nemo is!
