I came across these photos from my daughter-in-law and just started going on all I could. These are incredible. Thanks for the exposure of the photos.

Thanks everyone ! Nik, this is all natural from the fish himself. The long one on the back can be used as bait to attrack smaller fish, before they disapear in a huge mouth.

Nature never ceases to amaze me. Beauty truly is in the eye of the beholder–his camouflage is beautifully artful. Wonderful shot that takes me a place I’d never be able to see personally. Thank you for a very interesting potd.

It looks like a poor job on macrame; not sure of the spelling, it’s when you make stuff from crinkled paper… not including Yo!

Very nice. I seen those type of fish on TV program once. They look like wood and leaves.

Thomas and Yo – you guys are brave! 47 meters below is just amazing. If not for the eye, I would have thought it was a rock! Congratulations on a great pic, Thomas.

Amazing photo! Another exotic creature from the ocean. Not something I see (nor think about) everyday. No wonder you like to study Marine Biology!
