Red Lipped Batfish

A nice red lipped batfish in Cocos Islands, pretty deep. Sorry about

the background, he wouldn't move to a more sandy area.

What's wrong with the b/g? It gives more of the mottled appearance that he's trying to blend in with. Really a cool fish; I didn't know they are found at Cocos, though I remember them from Galapagos. :>)

The ones from Galapagos were always sitting in some nice sand, you could blur the background and make a little more appealing shot, here the background for my taste was a little too busy. We have this guy on video and you can see his lure going in and out.

Very cool
