So the Halibut and the Flounder start out with two eyes on either side of its head like normal fish, then one eye migrates from one side of its head to the other resulting in two eyes on the same side:

i am really guilty that i find them so delicious as they appear to be inordinately intelligent

Don't forget about pigs re: edible intelligence.

For years, their origin has remained an evolutionary mystery, but now, a new study suggests that regulation of the genetic circuit known as the Sonic hedgehog (Shh) pathway by sex hormones may be the answer.

The evilhellnightmareworm is better known as a ribbon worm: http://nerdist.com/the-worm-with-the-fractal-nose-glove/
Very nice/horrifying analogy in that link. Looks like it uses that... stuff... to capture prey.
The research on shark penis mind-control through ears is sadly too sparse to answer your second question.

All the instructions to make an animal’s body are in each one of its individual cells. But how does an embryo know that a scrotum should be built in the groin, and not on your forehead?

For 13 days, D. darius destroys and reforms itself inside what looks like the head of a Gaboon pit viper (though the snakes aren’t native to Trinidad).

One thing you won’t find in the story of the Very Hungry Caterpillar is the part where after transforming into a butterfly, he mates with a female who has a Very Hungry Reproductive Tract waiting to devour his sperm. She has a special digestive organ just for this purpose. It’s so powerful that it could even compete with the gut that let the caterpillar, in his more innocent days, chew through those five oranges.

Woah.
The more I see stuff like those last 2 links, the more I think I know nothing (jon snow). The ocean is just this whole unexplored pile of crazy.

It's not just you -- science still has huge gaps concerning the oceans, especially the deep seas!

Imagine a woodlouse that can grow longer than a cat, 76cm (2.5 ft) long – and weigh 1.7kg (3.75 lb). Well, it exists and it's called the giant isopod.
