The frog-like fish....NSI News Source Info # 47

In this undated photo released by David Hall of seaphotos.com, a recently discovered fish named "psychedelica" is shown in the waters off Ambon island, Indonesia. The frog-like fish _ which has a swirl of tan and peach zebra stripes that extend from its aqua eyes to its tail _ was initially discovered by scuba divers working as guides for a tour operator a year ago in shallow waters off Ambon island in eastern Indonesia. The operator contacted Ted Pietsch, lead author of a paper published in this February's edition of Copeia, the journal of the American Society of Ichthyologists and Herpetologists, which identified it as a new species.
