Chapter 27, Problem 3AC
As a frogfish sits camouflaged on the ocean floor, wiggling its lure; a small fish approaches the lure and is eaten, while a very large predatory fish fails to notice the frogfish. Describe all the possible types of community interactions and adaptations that these organisms exhibit.
