  • Banded Sea Snake (Laticauda colubrina) - Philippines..Banded sea snakes are most active at night, when they swim around close to shore while foraging for food, which mainly consist out of small fish and eels. They have lungs, which means they have to return to the surface to breath, which they do around every 20 minutes. They are also extremely poisonous, but have short fangs and are usually very docile, even with divers at close range.

  • Giant Frogfish (Antennaruis commersoni) Yellow Phase - Philippines..Frogfish are lie & wait carnivorous predators.  They have an appendage above their head which is waved about to attract prospective prey.  All frogfish have large mouths are are capable of swallowing prey to their own size.  Rather than swim above the bottom, they walk along the substrate using their pectoral fins.  Frogfish inhabit reef areas to a depth 73 m.  Often within one species there will be several different colour variations or phases; brown, black, yellow, white, yellow, red and orange being the most common.  Some species have hairy variations and maybe covered in numerous small wart-like knobs.  Frogfish have been known to mimic the colours of the surrounding terrain (ie sponges & ascidians).  Variable size depending species.   Length 2 - 30 cm
