Quick post of a nice orange Frogfish perched on two branches of coral I managed to capture near the island of Klein Bonaire near Kralendijk, Bonaire, Netherlands Antilles.
If you look closely you can see the lure tucked back on his head. (Click picture for larger image)
When diving, Orange is the second color to loose resolution (remember the old adage for the colors of the Rainbow - "Roy G. Biv"). As you dive deeper, it is the same. The colors fade in sequence, red, orange, yellow, green, blue, indigo, violet.
A flashlight (or a camera strobe) will instantly restore the natural colors. Without a flash, this little guy has perfect camouflage and is almost impossible to detect.
The image below shows the same Frogfish without the benefit of a Camera strobe.
