Another close up

Thanks for your comments

Free swimming? I would like to see that!

Nice collection.

I am a little torn on whether i like the moodiness from one strobe of the last one but really works well on the first shot.

THanks for sharing

Is it that one in the cave? It has then got a bit bigger since I was there 2 years ago.

Yellow one in the cave

Red one at Table coral city

Clown at the corner of the house reef.

Very nice! I really like the red one.

It's always fun finding frogfish. We've found a giant frogfish on the housereef at Wakatobi 2 weeks ago (not the known ones at the cave). But check this one out. This is at Pockets, if anyone wants to try finding it again It's interesting to note that with patience you can even see them opening their mouths at this young age. It's about the size of a pygmy seahorse.

Found this of the big one in the cave with its mouth open. I found a small white one in there to, that the divemasters didn't know about. Never had the right lens on then I found it again, so I have no picture of it.

How long do these guys keep their mouths open? I have only ever seen like 3.....and only have 1 photo!

They open their mouth for just a second or 2 usually. At least the ones ive seen. Like a big yawn. Often you can see it coming. They start to wiggle their mouth a bit. That means its time to keep your lens ready

The mouth is only open for a second or so, and it is not so often they do it as I have seen.
