Interesting, Graham.
It is quite common for Juvenile groupers and soapfish to have a white line like this. Maybe it is a juvenile marking? Just a guess.

Alex, I know there are some groupers and it could very well be that they are juveniles, though both of these were between 3-5cm, not all that small really for froggies?

Fascinating. Hope you figure this out. I'd really like to know what this signifies. I've seen many small frogfish (presumably juveniles), but never noticed anything like this.
Cheers,
Tony

These guys are really hard (if not impossible) to tell apart without looking at the specimen. Their colors vary a lot and there are quite a bit of new species...

The second pic looks very similar to the picture on this page. So, they might be Antennarius randallien

I originally thought it was A. randalli though when I saw others with this white line down the face I thought again. If anyone finds out anything about these plase send me me a PM.
