At 62 we sometimes "CRS". It was a scorpion fish that the DM coaxed out of his hole by putting his reg in front of the scorpion fish and shooting bubbles at him.

Not a scorpionfish in the pic... That's a large-eyed toadfish. It came out for bubbles?
Missed a splendid toadfish actually hunting baby Spanish hogfish - because a zippy-the-pinhead diver went zooming directly over the dm and other divers who were patiently watching. Scared the toadfish back into the hole! @&$!&@!!!
We were not sad to see her go at the end of her trip... Far from the only time she ran over, onto, in front of others...
Nice large-eyed pic, all the same! Don't see those guys much.

Isn't that a Caribbean Toadfish?
We used to see these in Cozumel from time to time but I haven't spotted one since Hurricane Wilma. Anyone seen one in Cozumel recently?

Well that's what I thought, then the other pic made me question it.

Colin's is a terrific shot of a large-eye toadfish. Never seen one near sand (usually see them peeking out of caves on the high-profile reefs) or fully out before this. Thanks for posting.
