If it's weird, it's at Kungungun Bay Resort, and nothing gets much weirder than

Frogfish which are here in profusion.  Ranging in size from a few inches (Painted

Frogfish) to over a foot (Giant Frogfish) all are members of the anglerfish family.

They have a tiny wormlike lure that's extended from the top of the head, over the

mouth, to attract small fish that think they see an easy meal. When a few inches

away, the frogfish will (very speedily) open its mouth and suck the prey in--they have

been timed at 1/500th of a second. The color variations are infinite and usually match

surroundings, sponges are a favorite and as the first picture of a black Painted

Frogfish nestled in a dark colored sponge will show, they are not always easy to find.

There are several varieties here including the fabulous and rare Hairy Frogfish.
