Common name: Anglerfish

Lophiiformes, commonly known as anglerfish, frogfish, and batfish, are a diverse order of fish known for their unique hunting strategy involving a lure-like appendage called an esca. They are benthic creatures, often found camouflaged on the ocean floor. In the aquarium, they are fascinating but challenging to keep due to their specialized feeding requirements and potential aggression towards tank mates. They are best suited for species-specific setups with ample hiding places and a diet of live or frozen foods mimicking their natural prey.
