This is a frogfish, and you don’t have to go to some exotic far-away destination to see one. This particular one I found at Stetson Bank about 60 miles southeast of Freeport, Texas in the Gulf of Mexico. Stetson Bank is one of three dive-able banks that are part of the Flower Garden Banks National Marine Sanctuary. Diving here is not for the novice diver as wind, waves and current can be unpredictable. But it can be well worth it. Stetson Bank has very little coral but lots of fish and other wildlife. Because of the lack of hiding places, most nocturnal creatures can be seen during the day. The other two banks that are part of the sanctuary are mostly hard corals with the occasional Manta Ray, Hammerhead Shark and Whale Shark sightings.
