Additional Information About the Natural History of this Subject
Frogfishes are also known as Anglerfishes since they use a modified dorsal spine (illicium) having a tiny flap of skin at its tip as a lure to attract prey.? Frogfish bodies resemble flabby weed-encrusted masses or sponges and effectively blend into their surroundings.? They are typically found upon rocky outcrops or large rocks at any depth, and most of the Hawaiian species are small and rarely seen.? Commerson's Frogfish is the only species most divers will encounter. COMMERSON'S FROGFISH Largest and most common species in Hawaii Attains 14 inches; average is 8 inches Highly variable in coloration, light brown is most common, juveniles are yellow Apparently changes locations over time rather than staying put Capable of swallowing fish almost as long as itself http://www.coralreefnetwork.com/stender/fishes/frogfishes/frogfish.htm
