Please tell me what these are!!!!!!!!!

Whilst snorkelling around Dahab I came across these two rather weird looking somethings wandering along the sand & I have absolutely no idea what they are.

Any help most welcome.

Thanks

search for "sea robins". nice picture.

Crocodile fish, I believe.

They do look very similar to Crocodile fish but these are slightly different although it could be due to their size. From what I can see Crocodile fish get quite large but these were only about 8-9cm long.

those fish are called sea-moth, you'll see them most of the time together looking for
food in shallow sandy areas.

always a nice scene to spot

cheers

You have a good eye. Those would be hard to spot...like frogfish.

Thanks Mercy, maybe if I return to Dahab I'll try a few dives with you.
