The traditional Giant Frogfish perched in a Barrel Sponge image (with Medusa Sea Cucumbers all over it) on a coral reef wall.

Spoon, I have always found plenty of Froggies in Anilao - there is a BIG black Giant Froggie on Cathedral generally hiding in plain sight. You can see him in this image from last year. I was told he is still there:

ive seen many froggies in anilao but almost all i would have passed by without noticing if my Dms hadnt pointed them out. they look like sea plants. il make sure to keep my eyes open for that one. i also have seen spotted froggies somewhere in bahura and sombrero iisland.
 
Very cool photos. Nice composition. I long to get back to waters wherein frogfish can be found.
 
Great photo, Marriard.

I concentrated almost exclusively on finding a frog fish during out last trip to Bonaire and got skunked. I think even I could have spotted this guy though.
