    Please tell me what these are!!!!!!!!!

    Whilst snorkelling around Dahab I came across these two rather weird looking somethings wandering along the sand & I have absolutely no idea what they are.

    Any help most welcome.

    Thanks

    They do look very similar to Crocodile fish but these are slightly different although it could be due to their size. From what I can see Crocodile fish get quite large but these were only about 8-9cm long.

    those fish are called sea-moth, you'll see them most of the time together looking for
    food in shallow sandy areas.

    always a nice scene to spot

    cheers

    You have a good eye. Those would be hard to spot...like frogfish.
