Frogfish I.D?

Found this frogfish in Bali. To me it looks like a striatus but the lure looks more, well, fluffy.

Any ideas?

I know its not the best shot for an I.D, Sorry!

Happy bubbles, Morten

Hi Morten,

Going by the lure I think your find is Antennarius hispidus which looks very similar to A.striatus.

Cheers,

Jim.

I'd agree with Jim. Its lure is shaped like a pompom imitating a tube worm. Seen lots in Bali, especially in Gillimanuk Bay, and some random dive spots on the North Coast of Bali.

Cheers,

Daniel

Googled a bit and I think you guys are right!

Thanks a bunch!
