Field Notes

Description:

Looks like it came out of a Stephen King movie! Looked like part sponge and part fuzzball. Staggered around like a zombie! Had that cool "fishing rod with bait" attached to its head.

Habitat:

shallow (about 40 ft), rocky, rubble-strewn area in Anilao Batangas Philippines. Dive site is known as either Secret Bay or Toros Point.

Notes:

Thanks to DMs Berting and Kim for spotting.
