Paul Callus April 19, 2018 at 12:14 PM I reckon that many baby fish are beautiful, like most other creatures, but the 'real' them comes to the fore when they develop and become adults! Indeed, in this case, a transition from beauty to beast!

Maria Williams April 19, 2018 at 8:24 AM They say beauty is in the eye of the beholder but I fail to see the appeal in this fish, but there is definitely beauty in your Haiku Anne-Lise....Maria xxx Anne-Lise Andresen April 19, 2018 at 12:41 PM - The beauty is in its heart, Maria :) - Thank you for your lovely comment :) - hugs // Anne-Lise :)
