  • Crocodile Fishes are lie and wait carnivorous predators that feed on small fish that pass within grasp.  They are masters of camouflage and ambush and often cannot be seen until too late.  Once prey has been sighted they move with lightening fast speed to subdue and kill.  Many varieties of differing colours and sizes.  Spines are usually venomous

  • Frogfish are lie & wait carnivorous predators.  They have an lure 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 numberous 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
