Wonderful looking fish..... and very strange indeed. These photographs taken at the Chicken Coop @ the RWT. Thanks to Mel Turner for not only donating some of the photos here but also for having her sharp eyes when we dived here.

In December 2014, everyone went a little bit nuts when they found this Anglerfish down at Ammo Jetty, also the site had cleaned up quite beautifully creating some impressive vis.
