Orange Frogfish - Lembeh Strait-Indonesia

Frogfish are anglerfish relatives. They have a modified dorsal spine called an illicium that functions like a fishing rod, with a fleshy esca at the end that can resemble a worm, shrimp or other prey. The frogfish sits almost motionless in camouflage, wiggles the lure, waits for another animal to investigate—and then attacks extraordinarily fast. Smithsonian reports prey capture in about 6 milliseconds

Amazing Animals Pictures: The Warty Frogfish or Clown Frogfish ...

Those wild strands aren’t hair. The hairy or striated frogfish (Antennarius striatus) is covered with dermal spinules and fleshy skin appendages that break up the recognizable outline of its body, helping it disappear among algae, coral, sponges and reef debris. Its coloration is also remarkably variable; yellow, orange, green, brown, gray, nearly white or black;allowing different individuals to blend into very different habitats : #HairyFrogfish #Frogfish #AntennariusStriatus #MarineBiology #OceanAnimals #UnderwaterWorld #AnimalCamouflage #Camouflage #WeirdAnimals #StrangeFish #CoralReef #OceanLife #AnimalAdaptations #HiddenInterfaces
