Psychedelica, From Fish From Indonesia, is "Newest" Specie

Famewatchers, meet Psychedelica, a frog fish from Ambon in Indonesia who’s just been proclaimed by scientists as a new specie. Ain’t it good looking?

From the BBC:
A brightly-coloured fish which bounces along the seabed has been hailed as a new species by scientists – who have dubbed it “psychedelica”.

Research published in the US scientific journal Copeia says the fish was spotted by scuba divers off the island of Ambon in eastern Indonesia.

It belongs to the frogfish family, but its looks are unique even among its peers, the journal reported.

The question with this new discovery is how it went unnoticed for so long.

The new psychedelica frogfish is completely covered in swirling concentric stripes – white and blue on a peach background – radiating out from its aqua-coloured eyes.

It has a broad flat face, thick fleshy cheeks and chin, and eyes that look forward like a human’s.

The fish was spotted by divers off the coast of Ambon island last year.
