@JrWhipstock @RebeccaRHelm The lures are part of the frogfish (a modification of the first spine of the dorsal fin), not actual worms or shrimp.
Different species of frogfish have different lures, ranging from fleshy worm-like lures to jointed shrimp-like lures, to tufted or feathery lures

@JrWhipstock @RebeccaRHelm They are indeed mindblowing. Especially shrimp-like lures with segments and leg-like appendages.
In Alor in 2019, I shot video of what I thought was a shrimp and only later, viewing the video, realized the "shrimp" was the lure of a camoflaged frogfish at the edge of the frame.
