Field Notes

Description:

Frogfishes are relatively small fishes, the largest is about 38cm but there are quite a few small species around 5 to 10 cm large. Some species can be of many different colours, from black to red, orange, yellow, browns, white, purple, green, some even have patches of blue.

Habitat:

The colours usually help them to mimicry their environment such as sponges, corals and algae.
Their habitat lies for the most part between the 20-degree isotherms, in areas where the surface level water usually has a temperature of 20 C (68 F) or more.
