Volodymyr Matviyishyn Giant Frogfish (Antennarius commersoni) Lembeh Strait, North Sulawesi, Indonesia Volodymyr Matviyishyn

Scubashooters Dot Net How could you frame a giant frog with the 100mm? It must have been a difficult shot! :)

Volodymyr Matviyishyn It was not easy, you are right :) Scubashooters Dot Net

Scubashooters Dot Net :)... But it turned out a great shot nonetheless!:)

Mike Bartick Manny-Moe and Jacky..I have watched these three Giant frogfish (Antennarius commersoni) for close to 16 months. The red one in the middle is the female Jacky, and the bookends are the males Manny and Moe. Females dont normally behave well socially and will only let a male suitor close to her if he is the finest male in all of the land. I have not yet been able to capture them spawning but one of these nights i will....

Evie Go 3 in 1 !!!

Alexis Golding Amazing Mike!!
