Let me see what you had for lunch! Seldom see 2 Tuberculated Frogfish - Antennatus tuberosus together, and this 2 were of the bigger ones, around 6-7 cm in size. The Frogfish on the right has a bloated stomach, I first thought it was pregnant but that was not the case.  It had a big meal and the picture shows it was starting to vomit/regurgitate out its meal.  Had a video of that happening, the meal was one huge fish, already mushy, it seems they do completely digest the prey they swallowed whole, and will vomit it out after a few days.
