Genus

Common name: Frogfish

Scientific name: Antennatus

Antennatus is a genus of fish in the family Antennariidae, commonly known as frogfishes. These benthic marine creatures are well-known for their unique camouflage and ability to lure prey with a specialized 'fishing rod,' a modified spine from the dorsal fin. They are fascinating additions to larger marine aquariums, where their cryptic appearance and predatory behavior can be observed. Hobbyists should provide ample hiding spots and be cautious with tank mates, as frogfishes can consume fish nearly their own size.
