A Walking Fish? (no sound)

rembarsays...

Some quick marine bio book checking tells me that it's probably Antennarius nummifer, also known as the spotfin frogfish, a member of the family of anglerfish (Antennariidae).

From the Wikipedia article: "The spotfin frogfish is a deep-bodied shapeless species, with thickened and adapted pectoral and pelvic fins which serve as limbs allowing the fish to 'walk' over the bottom."

P.S. Ain't nature swell?
