The elusive frogfish....

[tankboygreg]

I dove with Mike Severns for three days on Maui. Usually we would do one dive on the Backwall of Molokini and then move to locations off the Wailea coast. It was these Wailea dives that the divemaster would always point the frogfish out to me. Out of probably five different frogfish I was able to find one on my own. Not only are they hard to find but they are hard to photograph.

We have seen all of our frog fish in Maui as well. The little ones are easier to find, they really stand out, the are typically right on some grey rock and with them being either yellow or pink they don't really blend in like they think We have found a couple of adults on our own, but they are much much harder, you probably swim over hundreds of them, we found one once and we went back to look at him and couldn't find it, it was really strange, it was on a rock out in the sand and just disappeared

Here are a couple of Frogish Fish. The Orange one is from Bonaire and the other is from Maui. Although hard to spot, the one from Maui was pretty big. Probably about 1 1/2 to 2 feet long. (You should have seen the one that got away).

Bonaire Frogfish

Shark Attack, this is probably one of the ones you swam over?
