Frogfish (Antennarius sp.) hidden amongst coral. The colouration of the frogfish provides it with camouflage against predators and for catching its prey. The frogfish attracts its prey by wiggling a lure (not seen) on its forehead, which simulates a small fish or shrimp. It lies motionless for long periods, pouncing when its prey comes near. Photographed in the Red Sea, Eilat, Israel
