I knew the larger one was a frogfish, but I wasn't sure about the small yellow guy.<br /><br />Thanks for the link as well!Carlanoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9067507179347221008.post-86225530851903516942009-04-21T15:35:00.000-10:002009-04-21T15:35:00.000-10:00Hi Carla - Thank you. Glad you like the photos. Regarding the video, no those are not scorpionfish. They are frogfish. Fish in both the scorpionfish and frogfish families are rather funny-looking, but they are entirely different.<br /><br /><A HREF="http://therightblue.com/2008/12/commersons-frogfish-antennarius.html" REL="nofollow">Here's a post on <I>The Right Blue</I> about a frogfish</A> similar to the smaller one in that video.<br /><br />BobbieBNShttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10709074385552082635noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9067507179347221008.post-14446003861892369692009-04-21T11:26:00.000-10:002009-04-21T11:26:00.000-10:00Amazing photographs! Can you tell me if this is a scorpionfish in this video? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-7azv5XOI18Carlanoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9067507179347221008.post-57494815450143368862008-02-14T06:13:00.000-10:002008-02-14T06:13:00.000-10:00Hi Drowsey - Hmm, trying to think if I can imagine you as a Leaf Scorpionfish -- sitting all day, rocking back and forth in the surge, waiting for prey and then pouncing. Hmmm, yes, I think you could do it! LOL.<BR/><BR/>BobbieBNShttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10709074385552082635noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9067507179347221008.post-7490240113083664132008-02-13T20:26:00.000-10:002008-02-13T20:26:00.000-10:00Remarkable! Never heard of this type of fish before. I think if I was a fish...this would be me! :) The colour of the first one is amazing.Drowsey Monkeyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17679094659957098225noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9067507179347221008.post-36393873175009978862008-02-13T17:26:00.000-10:002008-02-13T17:26:00.000-10:00@ Thomas - You're welcome. and yes, they are quite fascinating.<BR/><BR/>@ Kathy - They are the same color on each side, although the mottling may differ. They can swim, but they're not great swimmers. If they get disturbed sometimes they'll flutter a foot or two away and then settle again. They mostly perch in one spot for hours and hours at a time. They don't roam around the reef.<BR/><BR/>BobbieBNShttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10709074385552082635noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9067507179347221008.post-30036891662823928952008-02-13T11:31:00.000-10:002008-02-13T11:31:00.000-10:00They are quite appropriately named - they look kind of flat - do they swim like regular fish, and have the same colors on both sides?kmlhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00782946391673845914noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9067507179347221008.post-84578171305393914162008-02-13T10:52:00.000-10:002008-02-13T10:52:00.000-10:00That is some fascinating fishies.
