toad fish

Post by deep diver »

have you ever seen a toad fish out of it's hole. I've seen them in the hole, only the front of their head. Had no idea they had yellow fins and stripping. Here is a good picture I borrowed from Dan magazine that shows one out and about.

Shot this on a trip to Cozumel in February. My first seeing one out of its hole.

Nope. It was out in the middle of the day. We just got lucky.
