The one critter that I can never spy is the elusive frogfish. In all my dives at BHB (#93 or 94? with Jim yesterday morning), I think I've only seen four without assistance. But we're in the season where we should start seeing them. Well, everyone but me that is.

In honor of the official start of frogfish season, here is one of my lucky finds from last year.

Frog season

In honor of the official start of frogfish season

Well, dang. I'd been told that May and June were the only times that froggies show up at the bridge, and now I've already committed myself to old man tennis tournaments for April. :depressed: I've found exactly *one* froggy on my own (at the bridge) - on the same dive during which my only other one had been pointed out to me. I *have* seen hundreds of those striated jobs that turned out not to be fish. . .

Made an effort to blur out the more familiar looking pieces of shell.

Maybe a black bar across the eyes to protect his identity might help.....
Nice Shot.

People start seeing them by mid-April and I found one as late as Sept. But mostly May-June. Your photos are "Pink" and "Mr Potato Head" from last year May or June so no worries if you don't make it down now in April. Pink is a perfect example of an animal who's habitat was destroyed (sat upon?) and therefore disappeared. I don't know if he was collected but his pink coral house was trashed.

p.s. I spent quite a bit of time on yesterday's dive looking at clumps of "striated grass."

Mr Potato Head entered the froggie protection program, and was relocated to an undisclosed location......
