PIGMENTS AND COLOURS 501 



Antennarius marmoratus is most bizarre in shape, and is adorned with 

 weed-like filaments and fleshy protuberances resembling in form, colour 

 and pattern the Sargasso weed to which it clings (Fig. 11.13). Even more 

 fantastic is the Australian sea-dragon Phyllopteryx eques (Fig. 11.14), 

 whose distorted outline is broken up by numerous irregular filaments 

 closely simulating seaweed streaming into the water (8, 56).
