Sea Creature of the Week

"The Sea Creature of the Week" 

The Frogfish

Antennarius spp.

The frogfish comes in a variety of colors and is also decorated very nicely! :-) Their diet includes fish, crabs and other crustaceans, and even each other! Due to the great camouflage of these fish, they seldom swim around. Usually a frogfish can be found lying on the sea floor, waiting for their prey to approach. Living in a variety of habitats, frogfish can be found everywhere from Atlantic to Pacific ocean waters, the Indian Ocean, Mediterranean Sea, and even in some brackish water environments! (Brackish waters are mixed with fresh and salt water.) Many aquarium hobbyist have found frogfish to be a cool addition in their tanks! To show you how colorful these fishes are, I will leave you with several pictures, so that you can see how different they can look! Enjoy!
