Field Notes
Description:
This frogfish has a large globe shaped body, a large mouth and pectoral fins which look like limbs. Upto about 30 cm in length.
Habitat:
Sits on the bottom on rock and coral reefs, on depths from 4 to at least 45 metres. Solitary animal. Hard to spot because of extraordinary camouflage. If harassed it will jump & hop away, like a frog.
Notes:
This fish is not quite common around Isla de Coco - spotted this one off Isla Pájara.
