Swimming frogfish.

Seeing one swimming is pretty rare (I've never seen one before). They rely very heavily on their camouflage for both hunting (they actually have a lure, since they are a type of angler fish) and defense (they blend very well with the sponge they are on).

Wow. That's a pretty rare sight and a cool capture. I've only ever seen them on perches or the sea floor, scouting around on their fins.
