A Crocodilefish - Photographed around Sumbawa Island, Indonesia
This is one of those fish with a face that only a mother could love. The name is certainly apt, as the head and profile of the fish resembles a crocodile.
Please note: Identification of fish, corals, etc. is a tricky business. It's entirely possible that I've incorrectly identified a photo I've taken. If you spot an error, please contact me so I can correct it and improve this resource.
