Orange Longlure Frogfish II

I've added two photos of an orange Longlure Frogfish, a Secretary Blenny (Lost in Space), and a Barred Hamlet to the Netherland Antilles > Bonaire > Nature > Underwater > Fish folder...

Longlure Frogfish [Antennarius multiocellatus] (pictured here) have a long, whitish translucent filament, called a lure, just above their upper lip. They dangle this lure in front of them to attract passing prey. When they strike, their mouths expand up to 12 times normal size, and they eat their victim whole (along with a considerable amount of water) all within 6 milliseconds. Longlure Frogfish come in a variety of colors, including deep red, pink, orange, yellow, green, and tan. They can change color, pale, or darken, to match the background. You can often find them resting on top of sponges, relying on their camouflage to hide from predators. This photo was taken at Hands Off in Bonaire.
