Genus
Common name: Frogfish
Scientific name: Belonoperca
Belonoperca is a genus of marine fish known for its unique frog-like appearance and behavior. Members of this genus, such as the Arrowhead Soapfish, are ambush predators that use their camouflaged bodies to blend into the reef environment and surprise prey. They are relatively small, reaching about 10 cm in length, and are prized in the aquarium trade for their interesting looks and behaviors. They require a well-established reef or fish-only aquarium with plenty of hiding places and a peaceful tank community, as they can be shy and reclusive.
