Photograph of Splendid Toadfish, Cozumel

Photo copyright Anita Floyd.
Splendid Toadfish, Sanopus splendidus

Taken in Cozumel with a Sea and Sea DX3000, using a YS-90 slave strobe.
A diver coaxed this toadfish out from its den, and it swam approximately 100 yards before finally finding a suitable coral head to duck under - disturbing a spotted moray as it did so.

The Splendid Toadfish generally lives on sand under crevices or coral heads in clear water, 10-25 m.
