⌛ What is this funny looking guy?

This picture was taken off of Apo Island at about 15 meters deep hanging on to the side of a wall. He seemed to crawl more than swim. When I came back up the people I were diving with (both instructers) were very excited to see it. Had I known it was a little rare I would have taken more pictures of it...

 

Dear Outcast, first of all welcome as a junior to this forum !! You make pretty pictures though..
THis fish is a ANTENNARIS maculata , and a very good aquariumfish indeed . They vary in color . Some weeks ago i have already posted a picture of my own orange Angler from my Lab in Manila here, But you as a new forum member must have missed it.. Please if you can make some more pictures ther are G O O D !! Earl
Anglers ( antennaris and Hiostro kinds vary in size and color very much , However the one on your picture is pretty RARE and one of the nicest !!
