Hairy frogfish

Sabang Bay, Puerto Galera

This is not a great shot; it's full of backscatter which is a bit hard to remove given this this fish is using sand as part of its camouflage. But I'm including it anyway because these hairy frogfish are rather unusual. This was hiding in a whole sandy slope of sea urchins, and doing a reasonable job of blending in. The edge of one sea urchin is visible in the background.

I have lightened it somewhat in processing, otherwise it's just a mass of black.
