Can you see me? This is the black variation of Giant Frogfish - Antennarius commerson.<br />
To the untrained eyes, they just look like a blob of black sponge.<br />
In this picture, look for the small blue eyes.<br />
It can also be seen in the picture the lure/esc with a bushy tip which the Frogfish use to flick to attract smaller reef fish to them. Anilao,Antennarius commerson,Batangas,Commersons frogfish,Geotagged,Philippines,Summer Click/tap to enlarge Promoted
