Juvenile garibaldi are stunning! It's amazing to think these little fish are right in our backyard...

Two tips for photographing frogfish:

1. Try to get negative space (water) behind the frogfish so that it's easy to see the outline. Otherwise they blend in easily!

2. Point your strobes in a little so the beams cross and reduce your power. This makes it easy to see the frown
