5/28/2004: Frog fish

A frogfish, bracing itself between a rock and its tank. And it turns out this is what it does; it uses its fins to hold still for long periods of time on the ocean floor, as it waits for its prey.

It looks like the fish ate a frog and now the frog is trying desperately to get out...

Cool pic! Must have strong fins in order to hold still like that. :)

I swear, for one seccond I really thought you guys posted a picture from my mother in law here at the forum. Woohoo... never scare me like that again, ok?

Welcome to the Cellar sterre, and condolences on your fish....er...mother in law.:eek:

thanks a lot Bruce. And thanks for your condoleances, could really use that one
