Strange Sea Creatures

[Spalea]

Alex Mustard: " Another odd bod! This is a toadfish (of eastern frogfish as it is know locally in Australia). A face only a mother could love. Or I should say father! Toadfish are rare amongst marine fish in looking after their young, the males protecting them in burrows. Lacking the dispersive larval stage that most marine species have, toadfish have limited distributions, perhaps best know is the splendid toadfish - found on around the small island of Cozumel island off Mexico. "

Alex Mustard: " Alien. Sea moths are bizarre fish, scuttling over the seabed. I decided to make this one look stranger still, using a low camera angle on this ocean weirdo! "
