During a recent dive at Laha in Ambon Bay, divemaster Toby Fadirsyair and Maluku Divers’ owner Buck Randolph found this unusual fish. Toby, who has been diving the region for over 18 years, had previously only seen this fish once before, 15 years ago. The specimen pictured here is one of a pair and is about 10cm long.

Unable to identify the frogfish, Maluku Divers enlisted help from photographers Beth and Shaun Tierney, who were equally fascinated, but unable to ID the critter.

Maluku Divers has sent these images to fish experts around the world, and is seeking your help to identify this frogfish. If you’ve seen this fish before and/ or can help identify it, please contact Maluku Divers
