Longlure frogfish Profile

The Longlure frogfish (Antennarius multiocellatus) boasts a range of colors, typically found in brown, gray, or yellowish shades, which aids in its camouflage against coral and rocky substrates. Originating from the western Atlantic Ocean, including the Gulf of Mexico and the Caribbean Sea, this species is characterized by its unique appearance with a lumpy body, small limb-like fins, and a distinctive lure on its forehead used for attracting prey. While it exhibits fascinating behaviors and adaptability, the Longlure frogfish is not commonly known in the aquarium hobby, primarily due to its specific care requirements and predatory nature.
