Spot the fish!
Everyone knows what camouflage is, but few people will have seen a fish so well camouflaged as the one in the image below.
This stunning photo was taken by Andrew Green (dentrock). It shows a Goram Dragonet (Diplogrammus goramensis) on a sandy seabed.
As well as being an excellent underwater fish spotter and photographer, Andrew is a co-author of the book Tropical Marine Fishes of Australia, co-author of The Manual Of Underwater Photography and a keen diver with Reef Life Survey.
The Goram Dragonet is a tropical marine species that occurs in Western Pacific waters. In Australia it is known from Western Australia and Queensland.
Thank you Andrew!

Wow! That's outstanding camouflage.
After trying to order the TMFoA I was told it was out of stock by new copies would be arriving in a week or two! So hang in there if you too are chasing a copy!
