Clown frogfish - Similan islands

Here comes a short video of a little friend from last year! This fish is called Clown Frogfish or Anglerfish. As you can see he's not much for swimming, but more "walking".

We were quite fortunate in that he was yellow. These little fellers often camouflage quite well.

We had four people looking for him on the pinnacle he was on! The current was quite strong as it can be on Richelieu Rock and we didn't have much time left on 25m.

As it's a rare fish, finding it can often beat the crap out of seeing a Manta or Whaleshark (we actually had both later on this particular liveaboard trip!)/
