Credit: APHope you all are having a grooovy Friday! Today's Fresh Catch will definitely make your mind trip. Meet Histiophryne psychedelica, aka Psychedlica, a frogfish with beige and peach stripes and blue eyes.
Credit: APIn an almost drunken matter, this fish uses its legs and gills to propel itself through the water. The end result is a bit like Flubber underwater. While frogfish are pretty well-known, none have as colorful patterns or bounce through the water. Discovered in Indonesia a year ago, Psychedelica was identified as a new species thanks to University of Washington professor Ted Pietsch's DNA tests.
You can learn more about the fish and see it swim in the video below!
