Ugly Town

Only the mother of a Frogfish could not be repulsed by its appearance. But they do succeed at blending in amazingly well.

So well, in fact, that I did not even notice the smaller Frogfish until I had taken a couple of photos this morning. The smaller fish is taking a HUGE risk swimming in front of the larger one. Frogfish can swallow whole a fish up to twice their size. Including other Frogfish. Romance must be in the air... (oops, I mean water)
