Mantis Shrimp in it's hole, taken in north Sulawesi.⠀

There are many kinds of mantis shrimp but each seem very fascinating, looking like nothing else. They have huge eyes which move like satellite dishes and are extremely complex.⠀

Pair of Cockatoo Waspfish, shot in Manado, north sulawesi.
I remember finding this pair side by sand in the volcanic sand. A bottom dwelling fish that shuffles along the sand quite comically, getting blown over by thr current. Brown all over but with a bright red eye. It's common to find these in pair's like a little couple
FUN FACT : This species is highly venomous and this venom can, under certain circumstances, be fatal
