Description
I think he was yawning or stretching due to boredom of having his photo taken,or maybe thinks this makes him look more like the sponge he is mimicking. Hes about 5 inches and found in 30 feet of water off the coast of Bonaire, Dutch Antilles. He hardly moves, rather relies of camouflaging himself as a yellow sponge. When he does move, he uses his feet with splayed toes and sort of hops or shuffles along. He has a fishing pole on his head but is tucked up under a flap of tissue on his head, so not very visible. One of the weirdest fish I have seen.
