Ah, my nemesis, Mr. Frogfish, we meet again. This seems to be the Scary Monsters and Super Creeps version of the Frogfishes family. I like Bowie. I concede defeat. You win this round, Frogfishes.

I got beat to the punch on this one by Zooillogix, but I never pass up a chance to post on an anglerfish, especially a newly discovered one.

Say hello to the latest member of the anglerfish family, straight from the waters of Indonesia. Two things set this flat-faced fish apart from other anglers: 1) its forward facing eyes, and 2) the absence of the trademark lure.
What is an anglerfish without a lure? A fisherman without a rod? A hunter without a rifle? A blogger without internet access?
But this fish has no doubt found a way to lure its pray in. Maybe it has an alluring dance or a sultry, smokey voice.
Thanks for the article, Alice and Ida.
