Weedy Rhinopias This weird looking fish is the Weedy Rhinopias, Rhinopias frondosa. Despite their bright colours, they are very hard to find as they are well camouflaged to their surrounding. They have lots of appendages all over their body and head and their pectoral fins are translucent, which they also use to 'walk' in the sea bottom although they can swim.
