Antennarius randalli
This frogfish was nearly black in color (except for the edges of its fins), its skin velvety in appearance. It was about 2 or 3cm in length.
Reef associated, depths of 8 to 30m. Tropical waters.
I photographed this intriguing little critter at a depth of less than 10m, during a morning dive at Dayang Beach, Talikud Island, Davao, Philippines. It was only less than 4cm long -- only a baby, I imagine. I sure hope it survives into adulthood! Check out the video at the 1:13 mark!

Most likely, this is not Antennarius randalli.
Could still be Antennarius pictus
Wow!!
Well, it was East (the Carabao Dive Center dive instructor) who spotted it for me. :)
Nice found Blogie!
