Very nice photos. :thumbsup:

I think it is also call a painted frogfish. What I would like to know is what is the thing in the photo before the yawning frogfish. Some kind of eel?

yeah, really pity the pygmy on the seafan...

the state of the seafan was really terrible...its a wonder the pygmy is still alive! i just went there, took a look, and went off...didn't want to add to the stress and cause more damage!

nice shots, thanks for sharing!
